Wear-proof protection for pipe bends
Hydraulic and pneumatic pipe systems often must withstand extremely harsh conditions. Conveying abrasive materials such as clinker, ash, sand or sinter dust subjects pipelines to acute levels of stress. Even thick-walled steel or cast-iron pipes often show significant signs of wear in an extremely short period of time. Pipe bends, where flow is subject to heavy turbulence, are particularly susceptible to wear, often achieving a service life of only 1/20th that of the associated straight pipe runs.
