ASME B16.9 Stainless Steel 316 Duplex 3/4 Stainless steel cross

Description

Stainless steel cross is a kind of pipe fitting used at the branch of pipeline. For the manufacture of cross with seamless pipe, there are two commonly used processes: hydraulic bulging and hot pressing.

The stainless steel cross adopts the process of pressing after heating, which reduces the tonnage of equipment required for material forming. The hot pressing cross has wide adaptability to materials. This forming process is usually used for the cross with large diameter and thick pipe wall.

Characteristic

Stainless steel cross is formed by hot pressing. The pipe blank larger than the cross diameter is flattened to the size of the cross diameter, and a hole is opened at the part of the stretched branch pipe.

The tube blank is heated and put into the forming die, and the die for drawing the branch pipe is installed in the tube blank.

Under the action of pressure, the tube blank is compressed radially. In the process of radial compression, the metal flows to the branch pipe and forms a branch pipe under the tension of the die.

The whole process is formed through the radial compression of pipe blank and the stretching process of branch pipe.

The metal of hot pressed cross branch pipe is compensated by the radial movement of pipe blank, so it is also called radial compensation process.

Application

Stainless steel cross is widely used in major power plants, chemical industry, light industry, metallurgy, urban construction, shipbuilding, natural gas engineering, food manufacturing, papermaking, medicine and other industries at home and abroad.
