Supplier of ASME B16.9 BW 10D Bend Pipe Fittings
A 10D pipe bend is a highly versatile and essential component in piping systems, particularly in industries such as oil & gas, power generation, and construction. The term 10D refers to the radius of the bend, which is 10 times the nominal diameter (D) of the pipe. For example, for a pipe with a nominal diameter of 6 inches, the radius of the bend would be 60 inches. This type of pipe bend is designed to change the direction of the pipeline and is often used in systems that require a smoother transition between sections of pipe.

10D pipe bends are used across various industries, including oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, construction, water treatment, and chemical processing. They are ideal for applications where smooth flow and minimal disruption to the pipeline are essential.
Testing for 10D pipe bends includes methods like pressure testing, visual inspection, and dimensional verification to ensure they meet the required standards for quality, strength, and performance. Additional tests such as X-ray inspection or ultrasonic testing may be performed for critical applications.
