Abrasive & High-Pressure Service
Heavy wall thickness bends are essential in the mining industry for transporting abrasive tailings and ore slurries. They are also used in dredging operations to withstand the constant impact of sand and rocks. In the power sector, they are specified for superheated steam lines and boiler feed-water systems where high pressure and high velocity are present. Furthermore, heavy wall components are used in structural applications, such as large-scale bridge supports or offshore platform jackets, where the pipe fitting must act as both a fluid conduit and a structural member.
Durability & Longevity Benefits
- Extended Service Life: Extra material provides a "corrosion/erosion allowance," reducing replacement frequency.
- Structural Rigidity: Thick walls resist mechanical deformation and external physical impact.
- High Pressure Safety: Designed to exceed the safety margins of standard schedule piping.
- Minimal Ovality: Advanced induction bending maintains the circular profile of thick-walled pipes better than cold bending.
