Ceramic-Backed Elbows & More
When it comes to fighting abrasion, US Systems “has your back.”
Maintenance costs, loss of material, and downtime can result from abrasive material wearing a hole in your elbow.
Mitigate these unnecessary costs with a ceramic-backed elbow that will last longer.
Our ceramic-backed elbow has a jacket across the back of the core elbow made of approx. 1/2″ of ceramic compound.
The ceramic compound has a Mohs Hardness of 9+, close to that of a diamond, which has a Mohs Hardness of 10.
Once the core elbow has worn through, the abrasion is transferred to the ceramic outer jacket and the core elbow continues to act as a static conductor.
