The strength and hardness of the materials used to make BSP male 90° elbows tend to decrease in high temperature environments. This change in material properties makes the elbow more susceptible to plastic deformation or even rupture when subjected to pressure. Long-term high temperature exposure may also accelerate the aging process of the material, further shortening the service life of the BSP male 90° elbow. On the contrary, under low temperature conditions, the material may become brittle and hard, and its ability to withstand impact loads decreases, increasing the risk of BSP male 90° elbows rupture during use.
Temperature fluctuations have a direct impact on the sealing performance of BSP male 90° elbows. At high temperatures, materials such as gaskets and O-rings used for sealing may soften or melt, causing sealing failure and leakage. In low temperature environments, these sealing materials may harden and shrink, and also fail to maintain an effective seal, causing media leakage. This decline in sealing performance directly threatens the overall safety and reliability of the BSP male 90° elbow system.
The thermal expansion and contraction caused by extreme temperature changes poses a significant challenge to the BSP male 90° elbow. When the temperature rises, the elbow material expands, which may generate internal stress; when the temperature drops, the material shrinks, which may cause the joint to loosen or the sealing gap to increase. This cyclical stress change may accelerate the fatigue damage of the BSP male 90° elbow and affect its long-term stability.
Under high pressure conditions, the structural strength of the BSP male 90° elbow becomes a key factor. If the wall thickness, material selection or manufacturing process of the elbow is not enough to withstand high pressure, deformation, bulging or even rupture may occur. This problem of insufficient structural strength is particularly prominent when the pressure exceeds the rated pressure range of the BSP male 90° elbow, which seriously threatens the safe operation of the system.
Under high pressure conditions, any minor sealing defects or material damage of the BSP male 90° elbow may be magnified, resulting in leakage. Leakage will not only cause medium loss, but also may pollute the environment and pose a threat to personnel safety. Therefore, in a high-pressure environment, the sealing performance requirements of the BSP male 90° elbow are more stringent.
Under long-term high pressure, fatigue damage may occur to the material of BSP male 90° elbow. This damage usually manifests as the formation and expansion of cracks, which may be difficult to detect at the beginning, but as time goes by, the cracks may gradually increase and eventually lead to failure of the joint. Fatigue damage is a problem that requires special attention for BSP male 90° elbows in high pressure environments.
