3D & 5D PIPE BENDS Geraldton

Our Expertise

Our team has the expertise to discuss your requirements. 3D and 5D bends have been used for decades in the Mining, Water, Refinery Oil & Gas and Petrochemical industries. We pride ourselves on customer service and satisfaction by including fabrication and custom cutting. Our 3D and 5D bends can be invaluable to any piping project requiring a reduction of turbulence within the pipe. We also offer set tangents to suit specific applications to minimise down time for faster deliveries. If your piping project requires a wider bend radius, or if you’re just looking to increase fabrication efficiency while reducing costs, consider our 3D and 5D pipe bends. All our bends are end user ready to install.

Full Size Range – 3D & 5D Bends from 15NB to 1500NB

Benton Piping Systems is Australia’s largest national and international distribution stockist for 3D & 5D Pipe Bends up to 1500NB.

We provide our customers pipe bends with green ends (tangents) to a variety of sizes in various schedules. In addition, we can also utilise our in house machining services to provide our customers with rolled or cut grooved ends for the purpose of Grooved Fittings and equivalent Grooved Ends fittings.

Although 1D and 1.5D bends are readily standard and available within the industry, these particular bends radii will not suit every need, thus 3D and 5D bends differ from the 1D or 1.5D industry standard.

The “D” represents the outside diameter of the pipe, measured in inches, The bends radius is then multiplied by the outside diameter to indicate the type of bend to be made. 3D and 5D Bends are significantly larger than the standard. resulting in larger radius to serve a variety of purposes.

Why use 3D & 5D Pipe Bends

Larger radius bends allow the product to flow more smoothly through the pipe; whether it is water, slurry, oils, solids or other mediums the flow has less resistance compared to 1D or 1.5D. Less resistance thus increases flow efficiencies. In addition a longer bend radius allows the pipe to reduce turbulence when compared to standard fittings.

Consider whether the traditional 1D or 1.5D bends can handle the job you have engineered to perform; if there is any doubt, consider using either a 3D or 5D bend for your next piping project.
