Best quality180 Return Bend are available in various dimensions and degrees. Based on the demands of customer, the 10" Sch 40 pipe bends are made of alloy steel ASTM A234 WP5 according to ASME B16.9. The quality is guaranteed by our skilled workers.
180 Degree Return Bend, also called U-Bend, is a pipe fitting that used to change the direction of flows. It is applied in oil and gas plants, chemical and petrochemical plants, refineries and renewable energy plants, mostly in heat exchangers. It is welded onto the pipes so that provides a joint that leak proof, stable and less possibility for corrosion.
