Difference Between Long Radius Elbow And Short Radius Elbow
Elbows are categorized based on their curvature radius, distinguishing between long radius elbows and short radius elbows. A long radius elbow has a curvature radius equivalent to 1.5 times the outer diameter of the pipe, denoted as R=1.5D. Conversely, a short radius elbow features a curvature radius equal to the outer diameter of the pipe, expressed as R=D. Here, D represents the diameter of the elbow, and R denotes the curvature radius. In this article, Union Steel Industry will introduce you to the main differences between long and short radius elbows.

How To Prevent Gap Corrosion of Stainless Steel Pipe?
Due to the gaps in the equipment and component structures or the presence of metal or non-metallic deposits on the surface of stainless steel pipes, gaps are formed between the deposits and the surface of the stainless steel pipes. Under the action of corrosive media, punctate and ulcerative damage will appear before the crevice, which is crevice corrosion. In the presence of water media such as Cl-, due to the acidification of the medium solution in the gap (increased Cl- concentration, decreased pH value) and lack of oxygen (oxygen concentration difference battery, lack of oxygen in the gap).
