Chemical Requirements S235 and S265:

Chemical requirements of steel grade S235 are as follows:

• Carbon (C): Maximum 0.16%
• Silicon (Si): Maximum 0.35%
• Manganese (Mn): Maximum 1.2%
• Sulphur (S): Maximum 0.025%
• Phosphorus (P): Maximum 0.030%

Elements not listed in the table should not be deliberately added to the steel without the purchaser's agreement, except for deoxidizing elements. However, residual elements may be acceptable as long as they do not negatively impact the mechanical properties and suitability of the steel.

Chemical requirements of steel grade S265 are as follows:

• Carbon (C): Maximum 0.20%
• Silicon (Si): Maximum 0.40%
• Manganese (Mn): Maximum 1.40%
• Sulphur (S): Maximum 0.025%
• Phosphorus (P): Maximum 0.030%

According to the standard, elements not included in this table should not be intentionally added to the steel without the agreement of the purchaser, except for elements used for deoxidation. However, residual elements may be tolerated, provided that they do not adversely affect the mechanical properties and applicability of the steel.

Smooth Flow Transition: The 180-degree long radius design of these elbows helps to maintain a smooth and uninterrupted flow of fluid within the piping system. It minimizes turbulence and pressure drop, optimizing the overall efficiency of the system.

Enhanced Flow Characteristics: The larger radius of the long radius elbows allows for a more gradual change in direction, resulting in reduced flow resistance and pressure loss. This promotes improved flow characteristics and helps to minimize energy consumption.

Improved Flow Direction: The 180-degree long radius elbows provided by these elbows allows for a complete reversal of flow direction, which can be beneficial in certain piping system configurations. It enables efficient flow redirection without the need for additional fittings or complex piping arrangements.

Stress Reduction: The longer radius of the 180-degree long radius elbows helps to distribute stress more evenly along the curvature, reducing the concentration of stress at the point of direction change. This helps to minimize the potential for stress-related issues such as fatigue or failure.

Applications of EN10253-1 Carbon Steel 2D 180 Degree Elbows:

Wastewater Treatment Plants: In wastewater treatment plants, EN10253-1 Carbon Steel 2D 180 Degree Elbows are used to reverse the direction of the flow, redirecting the treated water or sludge to the desired location for further processing or disposal. They are often employed in applications such as sewage treatment, sludge handling, and water reclamation processes.

Chemical Plants: Chemical processing facilities often utilize EN10253-1 Carbon Steel 2D 180 Degree Elbows to change the flow direction in pipelines handling different chemicals or fluids. These elbows allow for efficient routing of pipelines, enabling the transfer of materials between different processing units or storage tanks.

Power Generation Facilities: Power plants, including thermal power plants and nuclear power plants, utilize EN10253-1 Carbon Steel 2D 180 Degree Elbows in their piping systems. These elbows help redirect the flow of steam, water, or other fluids within the power generation processes, facilitating efficient energy production.

Tight Space Installations: In applications where space is limited, such as in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems, confined areas, or retrofit projects, EN10253-1 Carbon Steel 2D 180 Degree Elbows are used to navigate the piping through tight spaces or obstacles. They allow for a significant directional change within a relatively small area, optimizing the layout of the piping system.

Plumbing Systems: In residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems, EN10253-1 Carbon Steel 2D 180 Degree Elbows can be used to redirect water or fluid flow to accommodate specific building layouts or plumbing requirements. They can be employed in water supply lines, drainage systems, or irrigation systems to change the direction of the flow as needed.
