45 Degree Pipe Elbow with Flange

45-degree elbow with a flanged base and a molded-in identification panel.

45 Degree Pipe Elbow with Flange
Overview

45 Degree Pipe Elbow with Flange

45 Degree Pipe Elbow with Flange is one of the parts molded on tooling built at our Dongguan shop. 45-degree elbow with a flanged base and a molded-in identification panel.

Our engineering team reads customer mold standards and special requirements in English, so a specification written for a European or North American tool shop does not have to be rewritten for us.

Where the geometry carries several side actions we prove the open-to-close sequence with a mold motion simulation before the design review closes.

Key Benefits

  • One shop from design through trial, with no tool transfer between vendors
  • Final mold and packing inspection before the tool is shipped
  • Mold motion simulation on complex multi-action tooling
  • MoldFlow filling, packing, warpage and cooling on mass production tooling

Problems It Solves

  • Warpage found at assembly rather than in the cooling study
  • Suppliers who cannot read a mold standard written in English
  • A second source that has to be taught the program from the beginning

Who It Is For

  • Plumbing and sanitary system manufacturers
  • Automotive and appliance fluid circuit suppliers
  • Irrigation and water treatment equipment makers
  • Assemblers sourcing a family of matched fittings

Application Scenarios

  • Barbed connectors and tee pieces
  • Threaded elbows and adaptor bodies
  • Multi-port manifolds and valve housings
  • Y connectors and branch fittings
Manufacturing Process

How the Tool Behind 45 Degree Pipe Elbow with Flange Is Built

  1. Design

    Full 3D mold design completed to one hundred percent and checked in a design review meeting.

  2. DFM and MoldFlow

    A written DFM for your comment, and filling, packing, warpage and cooling analysis on mass production tools.

  3. Machining

    CNC and EDM work with steel inspected dimensionally after machining and electrodes inspected before burning.

  4. Trial and inspection

    Mold trial with trial report and sample dimension report, then final mold and packing inspection.

Quality Control

What Is Checked

  • Customer mold specification and requirement review and discussion during the kick-off meeting
  • 3D and 2D mold design review meeting before the design is sent to you, and a final check before fabrication
  • Incoming material inspection
  • Steel hardness inspection and steel certification
  • Electrode dimension and surface finish inspection
  • Steel dimension inspection after machining
  • Mold trial reports with a sample dimension report (FAI)
  • Final mold inspection and packing inspection

Certification

ISO 9001:2015 — scope: Design, Manufacture and Service of Injection Molded Moulds; Manufacture and Service of Plastic Injection Molded Parts.

Customization

Mold standard, cavity count, gating strategy, surface finish and mold base supplier are all specified per project. Tell us what your own standard requires and it is folded into the DFM rather than handled as a change later.

Compared With a Prototype Tool

A production mold for 45 Degree Pipe Elbow with Flange is built to run for more than 1 million shots and is documented with a trial report and a sample dimension report. A rapid prototype mold answers a different question — is the design right — at a lower price and a faster lead time, and is not built for that life. If the design is still moving, the prototype stage is usually the cheaper route into the production tool.

Rapid Prototype Molds

Use Guide

  • Send 3D part data in STEP, IGES, Parasolid, CATIA, SolidWorks
  • State the resin or alloy, the annual volume and the mold standard
  • Comment on the DFM before fabrication — that is the cheapest point to change anything
  • Review the trial report and sample dimension report against your own drawing before release
  • Keep the mold standard on file so spares stay available locally
FAQ

45 Degree Pipe Elbow with Flange — Buyer Questions

How long does a quotation take for 45 Degree Pipe Elbow with Flange?

We return a professional mold quotation within 2 working days. Send the 3D data, the resin and the expected annual volume and that is usually enough to quote without a second round of questions.

Do you make the part as well as the mold for 45 Degree Pipe Elbow with Flange?

We can. Mold-making is ninety percent of our business and injection production is the other ten percent, and both sit inside the same ISO 9001:2015 scope.

Do you run MoldFlow before building the mold for 45 Degree Pipe Elbow with Flange?

For mass production molds, yes. We run the practical study in four stages — filling, then packing, then warpage, then cooling — and the cooling layout is designed from the result.

What tool life should we expect on a mold for 45 Degree Pipe Elbow with Flange?

Our high quality injection molds are built for more than 1 million shots. The exact figure for your tool depends on the resin, the cycle and the part geometry, and we put it in the quotation rather than leaving it open.
