PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Induction Bends for project-specific requirements.
Induction bends provide controlled changes in pipeline direction while retaining a continuous pipe section through the bend. The complete order definition includes mother-pipe route, diameter, wall, grade, bend angle, centerline radius, tangent lengths, end preparation and heat-treatment condition.
ISO 15590-1:2024 defines technical delivery conditions for induction bends for pipeline transportation systems and recognizes two product specification levels aligned with ISO 3183 pipe. ASME B16.49-2023 covers factory-made wrought-steel induction bends for transportation and distribution systems. The applicable standard and edition must be fixed by the purchase specification.
Manufacturing qualification, forming-temperature control, dimensional survey, mechanical testing, NDT, hydrostatic testing and coating restoration are coordinated according to the approved project route.
