There are cases where "polishing" is applied as a surface finish specification requirement for welded pipe fittings, and particularly for stainless steel products, there is a smooth, glossy finish achieved through "buff polishing." "Buff polishing" is a method that uses a polishing tool equipped with cotton, felt, or wool called a "buff," along with a paste-like abrasive material, to smooth the surface, especially when a mirror finish is required. Buff polishing has classifications of "roughness," expressed as a specific number finish. Generally, the larger the number, the higher the grade, resulting in a glossier product surface. At Benkan Kiko, regardless of buff polishing finish, we accommodate surface grade specifications not only with abrasive particle sizes but also with surface roughness parameters (Ra, Rmax, etc.), roughness symbols, evaluations using comparison test pieces, and assessments using surface roughness gauges, allowing us to meet surface grade requirements tailored to specific applications. If polishing is required for welded pipe fittings in your piping design, please feel free to contact us. <Varieties> - Elbows, T-pieces, reducers, caps, stub ends <Materials> - We can accommodate various materials including SUS304, SUS304L, SUS316, SUS316L, and others.

A stub end is a welded pipe fitting that has a flange at the end and is used in combination with a loose flange. Instead of rotating the pipe itself, the loose flange is rotated to freely adjust the position of the bolt holes, improving the workability on site during assembly. This product is used in a wide range of applications, primarily in low-pressure piping systems such as water supply and drainage facilities and internal factory piping. It is particularly effective in paper mills. In addition to standard products, we can also provide custom items tailored to your specifications, so please feel free to leave it to Benkan Kiko. We can accommodate products with flange diameters other than 10K, such as 5K and 20K, as well as products with dimensions that differ from standard specifications and serration processing. Leveraging the strength of our domestic manufacturing facilities, we respond flexibly to customer requests. "If you need a certain height" or "Can you make this flange diameter?"

"I want to join the pipe fittings and support materials, but I'm worried about strength and heat effects, so I don't want to attach them directly to the pipe fitting body. Welding and attaching a PAD (backing plate) to the pipe fitting on-site is cumbersome." In such cases, please do not hesitate to contact Benkan Kiko. By attaching a PAD (backing plate) to the necessary parts in piping support structures (horizontal and vertical loads), we can enable the joining of the PAD section and the support material. However, manufacturing pipe fittings with PADs is not easy. The PAD and pipe fitting are produced separately through plastic processing, but welding them together so that they fit perfectly requires the very challenging task of modifying the PAD shape. Benkan Kiko has three domestic factories (five locations) and various know-how accumulated by skilled craftsmen who hone their skills there. There have been cases where we made it possible to manufacture PAD-equipped pipe fittings, which were considered technically difficult during the planning stage, by pooling wisdom and technology across factories. Although the PAD (backing plate) equipped welded pipe fittings are custom-made and unique, please contact Benkan Kiko when considering them.

The pipeline has not only straight sections but also bends and branching parts. The guide plate that ensures a smooth passage for the pig without getting caught on the branching side when it passes through this branching part is called a guide bar (pig bar). At Benkan Kiko, we manufacture elbows used in the bending parts of the pipeline and T (tee) fittings used in the branching parts, but we refer to a T fitting with a bar attached to the branching part as a T fitting with a guide bar. Regarding the guide bar, there are various know-how related to its shape and installation method, and the welding to the T fitting body often needs to be performed using a welding method (welding construction method) that has been approved based on regulations such as the Gas Business Act. Benkan Kiko has obtained many welding construction methods based on regulatory requirements such as the Gas Business Act and the Electric Utility Act, allowing us to respond to various cases. In addition to being able to accommodate various shapes of guide bar installations according to customer requests, we can also procure the materials for the guide bars ourselves. Furthermore, we are qualified to conduct various tests and inspections on the welded parts of the guide bars. Source of pig photo: JFE Engineering Corporation.

Elbows are categorized into 90° elbows, 45° elbows, and 180° elbows according to JIS standards. In cases where these angles are insufficient for piping design, JIS standards recognize "special angle elbows," which can be manufactured at special angles as needed for piping design. Elbows manufactured at special intermediate angles such as 60°, 30°, and 135° are referred to as "special angle (end angle) elbows." At Benkan Kiko, we respond meticulously to our customers' requests and offer custom manufacturing of end angle elbows. **Benefits of adopting Benkan Kiko's end angle elbows:** - If elbows are processed on-site during installation, the product warranty for those fittings will be voided, so it is safer to manufacture them at the required angles in advance. - Processing elbows to specific angles or bevel ends on-site requires equipment and expertise, making it safer to use pre-processed products. - Products can be manufactured with dimensional accuracy based on JIS standards. - We can issue production drawings and delivery drawings that include detailed dimensions of the products as per your requests.

At Benkan Kiko, we have a wealth of experience in the manufacturing of aluminum and aluminum alloy pipe fittings. Characteristics of Aluminum: - It is lightweight and easy to process, but has low strength. - It has good thermal conductivity. - Its toughness does not decrease at low temperatures, making it suitable for use in extremely low temperatures, such as liquid hydrogen at -252.7°C. - It has excellent weather resistance due to the formation of an oxide film when it reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere; however, this oxide film can be destroyed in acidic or alkaline environments, making it particularly vulnerable to chloride ions and alkaline conditions. Due to these characteristics, aluminum is a material that is difficult to shape and weld. However, it offers significant advantages such as corrosion resistance and maintained toughness at low temperatures, making it suitable for piping in harsh corrosive environments like seawater, as well as for extremely low-temperature piping and tanks for liquefied natural gas and liquid hydrogen. At Benkan Kiko, we have established shaping and welding technologies through years of accumulated expertise and know-how, enabling us to manufacture with delicate materials like aluminum. Additionally, based on our extensive experience and numerous achievements, we can flexibly address various problem-solving needs. Please feel free to consult or request our services with confidence.

A tapered pipe refers to a piping product where the cross-sectional area differs between the inlet and outlet. There are similar products called reducers, but the length and step of reducers are determined by standards. However, in piping construction, there may be cases where products with lengths or steps that differ from the standards are required. In such cases, tapered pipes can be utilized. Additionally, while there is a manufacturing method that involves machining steel materials, for large-diameter products, considering material and processing costs, tapered pipes manufactured by welding steel plates have cost advantages. At Benkan Kiko, we can manufacture from a single piece in small lots, and we will produce according to customer requests and various conditions regarding diameter, plate thickness, wall thickness, length, etc. Furthermore, we can manufacture using materials such as carbon steel, high-strength steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals like aluminum.

A tapered pipe is a piping product manufactured from steel plates, featuring a gradient and longitudinal weld seam, and refers to any product other than a reducer in the standards for welded pipe fittings. While reducers have specifications for product height (length) and step-down (the difference in diameters of the connecting pipes), there may be instances during piping installation where products with different heights or step-downs from the standards are required. In such cases, tapered pipes can be utilized. Short pipes can also be supplied with the necessary length and end processing for short steel pipe components required in piping design. These products contribute to reducing construction time and improving on-site construction efficiency for our customers. Please consult us regarding diameter, plate thickness (product thickness), length, etc. Additionally, materials can be manufactured from carbon steel, high-strength steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals such as aluminum. Both tapered pipes and short pipes can be ordered from a single small lot. Tapered pipes can accommodate both concentric and eccentric designs. In addition to piping applications, how about considering them for steel structures or welded structures?

The name "Monaka" originates from a type of Japanese confectionery called "monaka," which consists of two layers stacked together. 1. Enhanced facilities enable the production of products tailored to your needs When manufacturing large-diameter elbows, a method may be employed that combines steel pipes known as "maita bends" and "ebi pipes" to create elbow shapes. The monaka manufacturing process requires molds and high-output press machines. Our facilities are well-equipped, allowing us to produce products that meet our customers' requirements. 2. Fewer weld seams reduce the risk of welding defects Due to the manufacturing method of combining steel pipes through welding, maita bends tend to have many weld seams, resulting in more inspections. Our elbows have only two weld seams in the longitudinal direction, significantly fewer than maita bends, thereby reducing the need for inspections on weld seams and minimizing the quality risks associated with welding, allowing for safer usage. 3. Smooth shape minimizes the impact on fluids Maita bends have a cornered shape due to the combination of steel pipes, while our formed elbows have a smooth R shape, which minimizes the impact on fluids. We can accommodate various materials (for details, please refer to the section below), so please feel free to contact us.

Since SUS430 is in sheet form, both the elbow and the short pipe are manufactured by forming pipes from sheets. After shaping, the inner surface is polished to achieve a very smooth finish. Type: Special Y-pipe Dimensions: 4B x 1B Wall thickness: 3.0T Material: SUS430 This product is used in metal powder processing equipment and has received high praise from customers. In addition to the above, we are engaged in the production of various types and shapes of products, with many successful deliveries. "If only we could make such a joint!" or "It would be great to have such a joint." If you have such thoughts, please feel free to consult with us.

What is the RoHS Directive? The RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances, commonly known as RoHS) Directive is a directive enacted by the European Union (EU) in July 2006 that restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The RoHS Directive aims to ensure that electrical and electronic equipment does not contain hazardous substances, primarily to facilitate recycling under the WEEE Directive and to prevent harm to humans and the environment when such equipment is disposed of through landfill or incineration. Based on the official gazette published in June 2015, it has been decided that, starting from July 2019, four new types of phthalate esters will be added as restricted substances. *The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, commonly known as WEEE) Directive is a directive by the European Union (EU) concerning waste electrical and electronic products.

We received an order for products for the replacement work of elbows with longitudinal weld seams, which we delivered for the after-service project for the thermal power plant of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Nagasaki Factory. This project involved the on-site replacement of aging piping used under high temperature and high pressure conditions. Instead of the same elbows supplied previously, we provided a new product that incorporates many advantages, which was well received. The specifications of the product that were appreciated are as follows: - Seamless elbows to eliminate longitudinal weld seams. - To reduce the workload within the engineering manufacturer, a water pressure test was conducted at Benkan Kiko at a pressure of 1.3 times the design pressure. - Suspension brackets were installed to facilitate easy replacement work on-site. By conducting the water pressure test at 1.3 times the design pressure in advance at Benkan Kiko, we can avoid the risk of performing a water pressure test at 1.3 times the design pressure on aging piping. We have confirmed and experienced effects such as delivery management and workload reduction, and we have received high evaluations, including subsequent orders for after-service projects under the same scheme.

Bulge forming (hydroforming) is a method of processing materials by applying high internal pressure and axial load (axial pushing) to tubular materials (such as steel pipes) placed within a mold, deforming them into shapes that conform to the mold. It is a type of plastic processing using various alloy steel pipes, including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and brass. Using bulge forming offers the following advantages: 1. It allows for integral forming, making complex shapes possible. This improves the rigidity of the processed products and leads to enhanced quality. 2. It enables material thickening forming, allowing for right-angle bends in steel pipes, which can reduce processing time and increase processing speed. Thus, it is a forming method that not only allows for complex shapes but also enables cost reduction. Our company is capable of manufacturing welded pipe fittings, including T (tee), special T (tee) at 45° YT, crosses, laterals, and more. We also accept inquiries for welded pipe fittings tailored to customer needs in terms of material, diameter, and thickness, as well as for the production of special items, so please feel free to contact us.

Radiographic testing (RT) is a non-destructive testing method that allows for inspection without damaging the product, making it possible to examine invisible internal defects. RT is primarily conducted to detect defects in the longitudinal welds of joints and can be applied to products with wall thicknesses ranging from a few millimeters to over 100 mm. We can also accommodate products for which RT is required by regulations such as the Electric Utility Industry Law, the Gas Utility Industry Law, and the High-Pressure Gas Safety Law, as well as those requested by customers. Additionally, considering the test specimen and the defects to be detected, we implement appropriate testing by selecting and combining various methods, including penetrant testing (PT), magnetic particle testing (MT), and ultrasonic testing (UT), in addition to RT. We are also capable of responding to customer requests regarding various tests, so please feel free to consult with us.
