Two types of abrasion resistant bends The tubing bend segments are constructed of a thick, abrasion resistant hard cast iron and are available in two metal compositions to suit abrasive or severely abrasive applications. A metal hardness of 235 Brinell for abrasive applications or 550 Brinell for severely abrasive applications is available. Easier to install The Superslik segments are small, making them easier to install than the heavier and more difficultto-maneuver one-piece tubing bends. The segments cannot be misaligned and are substantially more forgiving when connecting to adjacent conveying lines which might not be installed at perfect angles. Fewer parts to stock Reduces material plugging ® The Superslik segmented abrasion resistant tubing bend represents an advanced design to improve conveying line flow characteristics when conveying dry bulk solids. Its special design provides a pressure relief across the entire length of the tubing bend. This results in easier conveying of many difficult and abrasive materials which may tend to compact and plug up when changing directions in the conveying line. The Superslik tubing bend handles Alumina Ball clay Barite Bauxite Bentonite Borax Calcium carbonate Cement Chromate sand Feldspar Fluorspar Fly ash Gypsum Glass cullet Ground glass Iron oxide Kaolin clay Lime Pebble Pyrites Quartz Silica sand Soda ash Lump coal Refractory batch Sodium sulfate Zircon sand And more Only two different segment angles are required to make a 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75° and 90° tubing bend. This reduces the number of different parts to stock. Also, since the segments are smaller in size than one-piece tubing bends, storing them is easier and they require less space. Flexibility Even the most demanding of conveying line configurations, such as a difficult corkscrew tubing bend, can be achieved by simply turning and bolting the flange segments to suit the angle desired. Features Better flow characteristics Reduces plugging Abrasion resistant Lower replacement costs Easier to install Withstands high pressure Easier to stock Guaranteed pipe alignment Fits both Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 tubing

How the Superslik tubing bend works A specially designed pressure relief starts at the inlet of each tubing segment and continues across its entire length to produce a better flow characteristic when conveying many difficult-tohandle materials. This pressure relief provides an expansion area which absorbs some of the compaction forces generated as the material changes direction in the tubing bend. It minimizes and/or reduces plugging and creates an improved and smoother flow of the material conveyed. CONVEYING LINE OUTLET CONNECTION SUPERSLIK SEGMENT BOLTS (AS REQUIRED) SPLIT-RING FLANGE AND...
