STPG38 Bend Pipe for Corrosion-Resistant Industrial Piping Solutions

STPG38 Bend Pipes are premium carbon steel pipe fittings compliant with JIS G3454, designed for pressure service in industrial piping systems up to 350°C. Made from carbon steel with a maximum carbon content of 0.25%, these bends offer excellent strength, erosion resistance, and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for boiler pipeline protection in industries like oil and gas, power generation, plumbing, and automotive.

Manufactured through hot induction bending or cold-forming, STPG38 bend pipes are available in seamless and welded configurations. With bend radii like 3D, 5D, or 10D, they ensure minimal turbulence and pressure loss compared to standard elbows. Available in angles of 90°, 45°, 30°, or custom designs, and in sizes from 1/2” to 48” (DN15 to DN1200) with wall thicknesses from SCH 10 to SCH 80, they cater to diverse piping needs.

STPG38 bend pipes support welding, bending, and flanging, with excellent weldability due to low carbon content. They undergo stringent testing, including chemical analysis (C max 0.25%, Si max 0.35%, Mn 0.30-0.90%, P max 0.040%, S max 0.040%), tensile testing (≥370 N/mm²), and nondestructive tests (ultrasonic or eddy current), ensuring compliance with JIS G3454 for high-pressure applications.

Coated with galvanizing, FBE, or 3LPE, STPG38 bend pipes enhance corrosion resistance, protecting against rust and chemical exposure. Their smooth interior surfaces reduce flow resistance, making them suitable for boiler pipeline protection, exhaust systems, handrails, and structural applications like trailer frames and awnings.

For engineers seeking cost-effective and reliable industrial piping solutions, STPG38 bend pipes deliver smooth flow, durability, and performance, addressing pipeline corrosion, mechanical stress, and high-temperature challenges across various applications.

Important Bending Variables

Centerline Radius (CLR)

The radius of the pipe's centerline through the bend

Outside Diameter (OD)

The external diameter of the pipe being bent

Wall Thickness (WT)

The thickness of the pipe wall, critical for bend quality

Spring Back Consideration

Pipes experience spring back after bending. Harder pipes and smaller centerline radii result in more spring back, which causes radial growth. Proper calculation and compensation are essential for achieving the perfect bend.

FAQ

An STPG38 bend pipe is a carbon steel pipe fitting per JIS G3454, with a larger bend radius (e.g., 3D, 5D) designed for industrial piping systems, offering smooth flow and corrosion resistance for applications like oil and gas, plumbing, and automotive.

STPG38 bend pipes have larger radii (3D, 5D) for smoother flow and reduced pressure loss, while elbows (JIS G3454) have shorter radii (1D, 1.5D) for compact systems. Both offer corrosion resistance with coatings like galvanizing.

STPG38 bend pipes are available in 90°, 45°, 30°, or custom angles, providing flexibility for industrial piping systems requiring smooth flow transitions.

STPG38 bend pipes are made from carbon steel per JIS G3454 (C max 0.25%, Si max 0.35%, Mn 0.30-0.90%), offering corrosion resistance and strength for industrial piping.

STPG38 bend pipes are produced via hot induction bending or cold-forming, in seamless or welded forms, ensuring strength and erosion resistance for industrial piping applications, with coatings for corrosion protection.

Quality is ensured through: - Chemical Analysis: Verifies composition (C max 0.25%, etc.).
- Tensile Testing: Ensures ≥370 N/mm² strength.
- Nondestructive Testing: Ultrasonic or eddy current tests.
- Hydrostatic Testing: Verifies pressure integrity per JIS G3454.

STPG38 bend pipes offer smooth flow, high strength, and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for boiler pipeline protection in oil and gas, plumbing, and automotive industries.

Coatings include: - Galvanizing
- FBE coating
- 3LPE coating
These enhance corrosion resistance for boiler pipeline protection.

A 3D STPG38 bend pipe has a radius three times the pipe diameter, while a 5D bend has a radius five times the diameter. Larger radii (e.g., 5D) provide smoother flow and less pressure loss in industrial piping.

Calculate the arc length: L = R * θ * π / 180 (R = bend radius, θ = angle in degrees). Weight (kg) = (D * a * 0.02466 * L) / 1000, where D is pipe diameter and a is wall thickness, ensuring accurate sizing for industrial piping.

Bends vs Elbows Comparison

Pipe Bends
  • Radius: More than 2D (3D, 5D, 10D)
  • Manufacturing: Custom-made on-site
  • Flow: Smoother, less pressure drop
  • Cost: Generally lower cost
  • Applications: Large radius requirements
Pipe Elbows
  • Radius: 1D to 2D (standardized)
  • Manufacturing: Pre-manufactured fittings
  • Flow: Sharp corners, higher pressure drop
  • Cost: Higher due to manufacturing
  • Applications: Standard 45° and 90° angles

Common Bend Radii

3D Bends

Radius is three times the nominal diameter. Compact design for space-limited applications.

Moderate Flow
5D Bends

Radius is five times the nominal diameter. Optimal balance of flow and space requirements.

Smooth Flow
10D Bends

Radius is ten times the nominal diameter. Maximum flow efficiency with minimal pressure drop.

Optimal Flow
Radius Calculation Example

For a 10-inch diameter pipe with a 5D bend:

Centerline Radius = 5 × 10 inches = 50 inches

The radius calculation helps determine the space requirements and flow characteristics of the bend.
