Saudi customer ordered ASME B16.49 API 5L GR. B large diameter bends

Haihao Group, as a professional enterprise engaged in pipeline engineering supporting products research and development, production and sales, we often receive orders from all over the world. At the beginning of this year, an oil project of a Saudi customer required a batch of large diameter bends in accordance with ASME B16.49 standard. The material was carbon steel API 5L Gr.B, the bend diameter was 1219mm, the wall thickness was 8.74mm and 9.53mm, and the bending Angle included 1-11 degrees. The total order quantity was nearly 100 and the delivery time was three months.

ASME B16.49 API 5L GR. B large diameter bends are commonly used in the oil and gas industry for pipeline transportation of oil, gas, and other fluids. These bends are made from high-quality API 5L grade B steel, which is a low carbon steel that provides excellent strength and durability. They are designed to withstand high pressure, high temperatures, and corrosive environments.

ASME B16.49 API 5L GR. B large diameter bends are manufactured through a process called hot bending, where the steel is heated to a high temperature and bent into the desired shape using a bending machine. These bends can be single or multiple bends with varying degrees of angles and radii.

One major advantage of using ASME B16.49 API 5L GR. B large diameter bends is that they are able to reduce the need for pipe fittings, which can be costly and time-consuming to install. Additionally, they provide a smooth flow of fluid, which helps to reduce turbulence and pressure drops in the pipeline, resulting in improved system efficiency.

ASME B16.49 API 5L GR. B large diameter bends are available in a wide range of sizes and configurations to suit different pipeline diameters and applications. They are typically coated with an anti-corrosive material to protect against rust and other forms of deterioration, and they can be customized to meet specific project requirements.
