Precautions for maintenance of stainless steel elbows

Let's briefly discuss the precautions for stainless steel elbow maintenance. Stainless steel elbows should be kept clean during use, and the drive threads must be lubricated regularly. If any fault is detected, immediately stop using the elbow and identify the cause. Stainless steel elbows stored for long periods should be inspected regularly, with exposed surfaces regularly cleaned and dust-free. They should be neatly stored indoors in a well-ventilated, dry area. Stacking or outdoor storage is prohibited. Stainless steel elbows should be kept dry and well-ventilated, with racks clean and tidy, and stored according to proper storage procedures.

When using stainless steel elbow ball valves, globe valves, and gate valves, only open or close the valves; flow adjustment is not permitted to prevent wear on the sealing surfaces. Gate valves and threaded globe valves are equipped with inverted sealing devices, and the handwheels are tightened to the top to prevent leakage from the filling point. During installation, stainless steel elbows can be installed directly onto the pipeline, depending on the connection method, and the installation position can be adjusted accordingly. Generally, they can be installed in any position on the pipeline, but simple operational inspection is required. Note that the flow of the medium in the stainless steel elbow should flow below the vertical disc. Stainless steel elbows should only be installed horizontally. When installing stainless steel elbows, pay attention to sealing to prevent leakage that could affect normal pipeline operation.

Use a handwheel to install stainless steel elbows. Do not use levers or other tools to prevent damage to valve components. Turn the handwheel clockwise to close, and vice versa. Son, when using, we should be fair and ensure correct methods and techniques. The bolts on the packing cap of a stainless steel elbow valve should be tightened evenly and should not be compressed or bent to prevent interference with valve stem movement or leakage.
