Technical Performance
Tensile Strength
- Grade 304: 515–860 MPa
- Grade 316L: 485–795 MPa
These values ensure structural integrity in high-pressure systems, validated by hydrostatic testing at 1.5x rated pressure.
Bending Strength
- Yield Strength: 205–310 MPa (304) / 170–290 MPa (316L)
Heat-treated (1050°C quench) to enhance ductility, preventing deformation during installation in stainless steel tubing elbows.
Weight Calculation
Formula for stainless steel duct elbow weight:
Example: A 90° 6 inch stainless steel stove pipe elbow (SCH40, 0.114 m³) ≈ 3.2 kg.
Identification Standards
- ASTM A403: Wrought austenitic stainless steel fittings
- ASME B16.9: Factory-made butt-welding elbows
- MSS SP-43: Light-duty corrosion-resistant welds
Why Stainless Steel Rusts
While stainless steel duct elbow is corrosion-resistant, rust may occur due to:
- Chloride Exposure: Coastal or chemical environments degrade the chromium oxide layer.
- Mechanical Damage: Scratches from improper handling expose the iron substrate.
- Low Oxygen: Stagnant water in joints causes crevice corrosion.
- Substandard Alloys: Impurities reduce chromium content (e.g., non-304/316L grades).
Key Features
-
Seamless Industrial Design
Cold-drawn and solution-annealed stainless steel duct elbow ensures uniform grain structure, minimizing weak points in high-stress ducts. -
High-Temperature Resilience
Withstands up to 1150°C (2100°F) in industrial ovens, exhausts, and 6 inch stainless steel stove pipe elbow applications. -
Versatile Applications
Ideal for HVAC systems, chemical plants, and stainless steel tubing elbows in marine environments. -
Easy Maintenance
Smooth, non-porous surfaces resist grease buildup, simplifying cleaning in food processing or pharmaceutical ducts.
