The bends are available in performance different from specified in the table (pressure, service factor or climate design) or for connection with piping of different thickness. Bends are available with adaptor rings (length at least 250 mm) acc. to SNIP III.42.80 upon request and may come with external insulation coating according to Specifications TU 1469-011-00153229-2012 and TU 1469-006-00153229-2001.
