There are many precautions for the use and maintenance of stainless steel elbows, and users are required to use them in accordance with certain methods. Use and maintain in an accurate and impartial manner. Precautions are as follows:

　　1.Stainless steel elbows that have been stored for a long time should be inspected as planned. Exposed appearances should be kept clean and dirt removed. It should be neatly stored in a dry and well-ventilated indoor place. Open-air stacking or storage is prohibited. Always insist on using drilled and ventilated stainless steel elbows, keep the containers clean and tidy, and store them in accordance with precise storage methods.

　　2.When installing the equipment, stainless steel elbows can be directly installed on the pipeline according to the connection method or installed according to the application location. Under normal circumstances, the equipment can be located at any position in the pipeline, but it must be convenient for operation and inspection. Note that the medium flow direction of the stainless steel elbow should be from below the longitudinal valve disc upwards. Stainless steel elbows can only be used in horizontal equipment. Pay attention to the sealing property of the stainless steel elbows in the equipment to avoid leakage and affect the normal operation of the pipeline.


　　3.When using stainless steel elbow ball valves, globe valves and gate valves, they can only be fully opened or fully closed. It is not allowed to be used for flow regulation to avoid corroding the sealing surface and accelerating wear. The gate valve and the upper threaded stop valve are equipped with reverse sealing devices. By turning the handwheel to the highest position, the leakage of the medium from the packing can be prevented.

　　4.Stainless steel elbows should be equipped with handwheels. Do not use levers or other tools to avoid damaging the valve parts. Turning the handwheel clockwise closes it; otherwise, it opens.

　　5.The bolts of the packing gland of the stainless steel elbow valve should be tightened evenly and should not be pressed into a bent state to avoid collision, hindering the movement of the valve stem or causing leakage.

　　6.Stainless steel elbows should always be kept clean during use, and the transmission threads must be kept smooth as planned. When problems are discovered. The application should be stopped immediately and the cause identified to eliminate the problem.

　　Advantages of stainless steel elbows:
　　1.High strength: Elbows are often used when pipes need to change direction, which means that pipes will be subjected to significant impact forces at the elbows. If the strength of the elbow is insufficient, the pipeline is prone to show signs of collapse. However, due to its high strength, stainless steel elbows can resist the impact of liquids very well.

　　2.Corrosion resistance: Stainless steel has a very good property, that is, it has excellent corrosion resistance by itself. Generally, a dense metal oxide film is formed on the surface of stainless steel elbows, which can effectively prevent the corrosion of stainless steel. This greatly extends the service life of stainless steel elbows and enhances their reliability.

　　The above is some knowledge about the use of stainless steel elbows. It is hoped that this content can help everyone better understand the use of stainless steel elbows. Stainless steel elbows are a kind of pipe component with a very wide range of applications and have certain similarities with elbow pipes. However, in actual use, it is necessary to distinguish between the two.
