304/316L BW Tees Equal VS Reducing

Pipe tees have two types: Equal Tee and Reducing Tee.These tees have similar functions but reducing tee have one more function,reducing tees can reduce the flow in the pipe system.Shanghai Zhucheng is an excellent pipe fittings manufacturer who supplys high quality fittings and flanges for years.

2”90°stainless steel elbow is a commonly used pipe fitting in the pipeline system. It is mainly used to change the direction of the pipeline, make the pipeline turn 90°, and connect two pipes with the same or different nominal diameters.

Steel pipe elbow is a key part in a pressure piping system used to change the fluid flow direction. It is used to connect two pipes with same or different nominal diameters, and to make the pipe and thus the fluid direction turn to a certain direction of 45 degree or 90 degree. This change in fluid flow direction adds pressure losses to the system due to impact, friction and re-acceleration.

These types of tube fittings like male elbows and female elbows have been specifically designed for use on instrumentation, process and control systems and equipment employed in chemical, petroleum, fluid power, electronic and pulp and paper plants.

LR 90 degree steel pipe elbow are installed between different lengths pipe or tubing. It helps to change direction at 90 degree, and is commonly used to connect hoses to pumps, deck drains and valve.

There are two types of 90 deg elbows:LR (long radius),SR (short radius).45 deg eblows are also have wide applications,be attention,45 deg elbow only have LR type.Butt welded pipe fittings have the most large used range as it can be 1/2″ – 80″.

Steel bend is almost same as pipe elbow. It’s radius is bigger and extensive used in oil and gas, engineering and construction industry.

BW elbow and reducer are both commonly used pipe fittings in piping systems.A234 WPB is the most used grade for carbon steel butt welded fittings.

Carbon steel butt welded 90° elbows are belong to ASTM A234 WPB pipe fittingsBW 90 deg elbows could be made in two types:LR (Long Radius) and SR (Short Radius).The angle of pipe elbows are 45deg and 90 deg.Only 90 deg elbows have LR.

180 deg BW elbow can change the direction of fluids or gas in 1800 degree.Butt welded elbows can also be 90 deg and 45 deg.90 deg elbow and 45 deg elbow are more commonly used than 180 deg elbow.You could find the surmmary ” 45 degree elbow VS 90 degree elbow”.

LR 90 degree steel pipe elbow are installed between different lengths pipe or tubing. It helps to change direction at 90 degree, and is commonly used to connect hoses to pumps, deck drains and valve.

BW tees and reducers are the most used pipe fittings in the piping system.Tees can branch the flow in piping systems.Carbon steel pipe fittings are popular as the great functions and affordable functions.

Steel tee is a T-shaped pipe fittings that has three branches, normally has two forms with Equal Tee and Reducing Tee, both are used to divide the pipelines to adjust the flow rate and change the direction.

45 deg elbow can be butt welded elbow and forged elbow.Forged elbows are including SW (socket weld) elbow and THD (threaded) elbow.Stainless steel pipe fittings are popuar because stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance,stainless steel has using age over 50 years,so the material is more expensive than other materials.

There are two types of tees:Equal Tee and Reducing Tee.Both types of tees can branches the pipes but reducing tees can also reduce the flow.Schedule 40 is a commonly used wall thickness in butt welded fittings.

BW reducers have two types:Concentric Reducer and Eccentric Reducer.These two types can meet different demand.This is stainless steel BW COC reducer in the picture.Stainlee steel is better in corrosion resistance,so the used years will be longer than other matercial.

The radius of both the 45 degree and 90 Degree long and short elbow is the same however, the center to face dimension is not equivalent due to the smaller degree of bend.

DN950 long radius elbow is one type of large dimension elbows,there is also short radius elbow to choose.ASME B16.9 elbow is butt welded elbow according to American Standard.

BW 180 deg elbow is used to change the direction of pipe system in 180 degree.There are also 90 deg elbow and 45 deg elbow to meet different demands.Carbon and alloy steel are always called “black steel” as the surfer of these steels are black.

Long Radius (LR) Elbow is also called LR elbow – means the radius is 1.5 times the pipe diameter
L/R 45°Elbow: Long radius 45 degree elbow changes the direction by 45 degrees.
L/R 90°Elbow: Long radius 90 degree elbow changes the direction by 90 degrees.
L/R 180°Elbow: Long Radius 180 degree return bend allows complete reversal of flow.

The butt welded eccentric reducer is a pipe fitting used to connect pipes of different diameters, and its central axes do not overlap, and there is an eccentricity.

The function of an elbow and What is the difference between LR and SR elbow?

It can have concentric reducer and eccentric reducer. It is widely used in pipeline installation projects, such as when the diameter of the pipeline needs to be changed at the inlet and outlet of the pump

Carbon steel tee is a commonly used tpye of tees.This is butt welded (BW) carbon steel tee in the picture.it can welded with pipes to achieve permanent connection.Equal tee only can change the direction of the pipes while reducing tee can also reduce the flow of the fluids or gas.

12in concentric reducer is a normal size pipe fitting that can used for many applications.SCH 80 is a commonly used wall thickness for BW fittings.There are two types of reducer:concentric (COC) reducer and eccentric (ECC) reducer.These reducers have same functions,the only difference is the internal structure.

The two ends of concentric reducer are designed with large diameter and small diameter, and the pipe is connected through conical transition section on the same axis.

Elbow is a pipe fitting that changes the direction of piping. According to the Angle, there are 45° and 90°180° three most commonly used. Elbow material can be divided into carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless-steel.
