glass pipe bends

A glass pipe bend is used when conveying abrasive, usually glass fiber-reinforced materials - for example polyamide. A glass pipe bend must be used, especially where space is limited and radii are small. If this is installed stress-free and is not mechanically damaged, it can be expected to last for years. This is particularly advantageous when installation space is limited and accessibility is poor.

To prevent static charging, a copper tape is glued to the outer radius to transfer the charge via the pipe and earthed at the end of the pipe.
