Alloy C-276 · UNS N10276
A Hastelloy C276 bend is a pipe bend with a larger radius than a standard elbow, made from Hastelloy C276 to ASTM B366 WPHC276. Bends of 3D, 5D and larger radius give smoother flow than elbows and suit slurry, pigging and pipeline service. They are induction- or cold-bent from pipe.

Hastelloy C276 Bend: Why C276 for bends
Bends of 3D, 5D and larger radius give smoother flow than elbows and suit slurry, pigging and pipeline service. They are induction- or cold-bent from pipe. In Hastelloy C276, the choice usually comes down to the medium and temperature — the rows here are the points buyers check for this exact combination.
| Why this grade | Nickel-alloy fittings match nickel-alloy pipe in aggressive media. Hastelloy C276 is picked for the most aggressive mixed acids, wet chlorine and hypochlorite. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Chemical processing — Reactors, heat exchangers and piping for mixed acids. |
| Welding to carbon steel | A nickel-base filler such as ERNiCr-3 (or ERNiCrMo-3) is used when joining it to carbon steel |
| Matching filler | ERNiCrMo-4 (AWS A5.14) |
| Sour service | Listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits — state it on the order |

Other Hastelloy C276 pipe fittings
Hastelloy C276 Bend — questions buyers ask
Bend or elbow — what is the difference?
An elbow has a fixed 1D or 1.5D radius to ASME B16.9; a bend is bent from pipe to a larger radius, typically 3D or 5D.
Can Hastelloy C276 bends be welded to carbon steel?
Yes — a nickel-base filler such as ERNiCr-3 (or ERNiCrMo-3) is used when joining it to carbon steel.
Which standard covers Hastelloy C276 bends?
The material is ASTM B366 WPHC276; dimensions follow ASME B16.49 · project specs. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a Hastelloy C276 bend?
The alloy price, the size and schedule or class, quantity, and the testing and documents required. Send your list and we quote the same working day.
Can you supply Hastelloy C276 bends to NACE MR0175?
Yes. Hastelloy C276 is listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits; state NACE compliance on the order and it is confirmed on the certificate.
What documents do you supply?
EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 certificates available on request / as specified in the PO; dimensional reports as required. PMI can be arranged depending on product and requirements, as specified in the PO.
