Wear Resistant Pipe Elbow
US Patent:
5301984, Apr 12, 1994
Filed:
Jan 14, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/004323
Inventors:
Sam J. Farris - Ardmore OK
International Classification:
F16L 914
US Classification:
285 55
Abstract:
A wear resistant pipe elbow is provided having a seamless inner liner with an upstream beveled end directing fluid flow away from the interior surface of the pipe elbow, thereby protecting the interior surface of the pipe elbow from abrasive particles contained in the fluid, and a downstream beveled end, which assists in directing fluid flow away from the inner surface of downstream pipe sections. The pipe elbow may also include a particle trap cavity, which traps particles suspended in the fluid flow. The trapped particles act as a buffer between a portion of the interior surface of the pipe elbow and particles subsequently carried in the fluid flow, thereby additionally protecting a portion of the interior surface of the pipe elbow from abrasion.
