Zirconium elbow

I. Product Introduction Zirconium elbows and tees are corrosion-resistant pipe fittings made from **industrial pure zirconium (Zr702) or zirconium-niobium alloy (Zr705)**, processed through forging, hot pressing, welding, or integral forming. They are used in conjunction with zirconium pipes and zirconium flanges to form a highly corrosion-resistant process piping system.

1. Commonly Used Materials

Zr702 (Pure Zirconium): General purpose, resistant to acid, alkali, seawater, and chloride corrosion.

Zr705 (Zr-Nb Alloy): Higher strength, suitable for medium and high pressure, high temperature conditions.

2. Product Specifications

Zirconium Elbow
Angle: 45°, 90° (common), 180°
Form: Long radius (LR), Short radius (SR)
Connection method: Welded (butt weld), socket weld

Zirconium Tee
Form: Equal diameter tee, reducing tee
Connection method: Mainly butt weld tee
Nominal diameter: DN15～DN300
Pressure rating: PN10, PN16, PN25, PN40, etc.

3. Manufacturing and Surface Finish
Process: Integral forging, hot pushing forming, welding forming
Surface Finish: Pickling and passivation, bright treatment, no oxide scale
Standards: Can be manufactured according to GB/T 12459, ASME B16.9, etc.

4. Key Features

Excellent corrosion resistance: Resistant to hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, caustic soda, seawater, and chlorine-containing media corrosion.
Good high-temperature and medium-temperature stability; service life in chemical media far exceeds that of stainless steel and titanium.
Matching with zirconium pipes, no electrochemical corrosion, ensuring the integrity of the pipeline system.
High strength and good plasticity, facilitating on-site welding and installation.

II. Main Application Areas

1. Chlor-alkali Chemical Industry
Used for brine, chlorine, and caustic soda transportation pipelines.
Resistant to chloride ions and high-temperature strong alkali corrosion; a key pipe fitting in chlor-alkali plants.

2. Pickling and Hydrometallurgy
Non-ferrous metal smelting and steel pickling pipelines.
Resistant to hydrochloric acid and mixed acid environments; replaces easily corroded parts of titanium and stainless steel.

3. Petrochemical and Fine Chemical Industry
Organic acid, ester, and intermediate synthesis units.
Process pipeline bends and diversions for high-temperature, high-pressure, and highly corrosive media.

4. Pharmaceutical and Biochemical Equipment
Active pharmaceutical synthesis and high-purity media transportation pipelines.
Clean and disinfection resistant, meeting sanitary corrosion resistance requirements.

5. Seawater desalination and offshore engineering
Seawater transportation and brine treatment system piping
Resistant to seawater, salt spray, and marine microbial corrosion
6. Nuclear power and special operating conditions
Auxiliary cooling water and corrosive media piping in some nuclear power plants
Utilizing zirconium's low neutron absorption cross-section and excellent water erosion stability
