Mining Slurry Rubber Pipe Bend Detail Drawing for High-Pressure Applications

Standard Rubber Pipe Bends for Mining Slurry Systems

This technical drawing details standardized rubber bend fittings for mineral slurry transportation systems operating at high pressure (10 kgf/cm²). The drawing illustrates five distinct bend angles: 90°, 60°, 45°, 30°, and 22.5° with comprehensive dimensional specifications.

Key Components:
– Flanged rubber bends designed specifically for mineral slurry applications
– Available diameters: 3″ through 26″ (76.2mm – 660.4mm)
– All fittings designed to ASME B16.5 flange specifications
– Operating pressure rated at 10 kgf/cm² (approximately 142 PSI)

The drawing includes a detailed dimensional table with parameters for each bend angle and diameter combination, showing values for:
– A: Center-to-face dimension
– C: Bend radius measurements for each angle variation
– D: Flange face-to-face measurements
– R: Bend radius

Manufacturing Note: All fabrication processes, materials, and testing requirements must conform to Vale standard ET-M-624, as referenced in note #4. This document represents Vale’s standardized components for the Conceição plant ROM 2014 adaptation project, drawing number DT-1000CC-T-12311.
