"U" Stainless Steel Tubes are manufactured as per customer requirements. Bends can be Heat Treated followed by hydrostatic testing and dye penetrant testing if required.
U bend stainless steel tubes are essential in strategically important and critical fields - nuclear and petro-chemical machine building. Designed for high temperature applications, especially for steam condensing or hot oil systems.
Testing and Processing
1.High Pressure hydrostatic Test: Minimum 10 Mpa - 25Mpa
2.Air Under Water Test After Bending
3.U Tube wall thickness Test
4.Eddy Current Test Before U bend Formed
5.Ultrasonic test before U bend Formed
6.Heat Treatment to stress relieved
7.Ball passing Test
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What are the primary standards for these Stainless Steel U Bends?
The tubes comply with major international standards including ASTM A312, ASTM A269, ASME SA213, ASTM A249, ASME SA249, ASTM A789, and EN10216-5.
Q2: What is the range of bending radius available?
We offer a bending radius ranging from 1.5 times the Outside Diameter (OD) up to 1500mm. For radii less than 1.5*OD, specific geometric precision agreements are required.
Q3: Which stainless steel grades are available?
We provide a wide range of grades including 304/304L/304H, 316/316L, 316Ti, 321, 309S, 310S, 317L, 321H, 347H, and duplex steels like 2205, S31803, 2507, and 904L.
Q4: Are the U-bends heat treated after the bending process?
Yes, the tubes undergo stress-relieved heat treatment after U-bending, covering the bending area plus 300mm for each leg to ensure material integrity.
Q5: What quality tests are performed on the U-tubes?
We conduct rigorous testing including high-pressure hydrostatic tests (10-25Mpa), air under water tests, eddy current testing, ultrasonic testing, wall thickness verification, and ball passing tests.
Q6: What are the typical applications for these U-tubes?
They are widely used in heat-exchanger systems, particularly in nuclear power plants, petrochemical facilities, and high-temperature steam condensing or hot oil systems.
