English Translation of Title:
Pipe Elbow for Water Jet Cutting Machine Parts – Model No. 10119253-Elbow--Pipe.1326.3-1

Introduction, Application, Features, and Maintenance:

This component is a pipe elbow designed for water jet cutting systems. It is a curved fitting used to change the direction of piping, typically at a 90-degree or 45-degree angle, allowing high-pressure water or abrasive slurry to be routed around obstacles or between components in tight spaces.

Application:
Used to redirect flow in high-pressure or low-pressure piping systems within water jet cutting machines. Common installation points include pump discharge lines, cooling water circuits, abrasive slurry return lines, and connections between valves, attenuators, and cutting heads where directional changes are required.

Features:

• Rated for pressures appropriate to the system design (may vary from low-pressure drainage to high-pressure cutting lines).

• Designed to change flow direction with minimal pressure loss and turbulence.

• Manufactured from high-strength, corrosion-resistant material suitable for water and abrasive slurry exposure.

• Smooth internal bore reduces erosion and particle accumulation.

• Available in standard angles (e.g., 45°, 90°) for consistent installation.

• Threaded, flanged, or socket-weld ends depending on specific design.

Maintenance:

• Regularly inspect the elbow body and connection ends for signs of erosion, cracking, corrosion, or wear.

• Pay special attention to the outer radius of the bend, where erosion and stress are most concentrated.

• Check for leakage at both connection points during machine operation.

• Replace immediately if any wall thinning, cracking, or leakage is detected.

• Ensure compatible seals, washers, or thread sealants are used during installation.

• Follow specified torque values for threaded connections.
