90 DEG Short Radius Elbow Stainless Pipe Fittings

Lateral tee is a special type of BW tees,it can branch the fluids or gas in 45 deg.Galvanized steel pipe fittings has better anti-corrosive function than normal carbon steel fittings.Galvanized Steel Pipe Fittings have similar corrosion resistance as stainless steel fittings,but more cheaper than stainless steel pipe fittings.

90° Steel Pipe Elbow is the most commonly used elbow type in pipe system with the function to change the direction of fluid in 90 degree. It connects pipes with same or different diameter.

ASME B16.9 BW tee is a butt welded pipe fitting according to American Standard.Carbon steel fittings are used in many applications because of its great excellent functions.Pipe tees can be equal tee and reducing tee.These tees have same functions,the only difference is reducing tee can reduce the flow in piping system.

Long radius elbow refers to the pipe outer diameter with radius of curvature equal to 1.5 times, i.e R = 1.5D. Most elbows are available in short radius or long radius variants. When the two ends differ in size, the fitting is called a reducing elbow or reducer elbow.

ASTM A182 F304 pipe fittings are inculding many fittings,among these,stainless butt welded elbows are the most common used fittings.For 90 deg elbows,there are two types :LR (Long Radius) and SR (Short Radius).Stainless steel pipe fittings are popular because of the superior functions.

SSAW steel pipe in the production process, we need to pay attention to a series of matters. Except for the following test items, according to the API standard and other relevant standards and the special requirements of some users, but also the need for steel, steel pipe and other tests Destructive tests, including physical and chemical properties of the raw materials into the plant sampling, visual inspection of 100% steel .

Long radius elbow refers to the pipe outer diameter with radius of curvature equal to 1.5 times, i.e R = 1.5D. Its function is to change the direction of the fluid by 90 degrees, so it is also called vertical elbow.

Butt welded elbow,also called BW elbow,there are two types elbows:Reducing Elbow and Equal Elbow.both types elbows can change the fluids or gas in 45 deg or 90 deg,while reducing elbows also can reduce the flow in the piping system.Shanghai Zhucheng has experienced steel pipe fittings factory to supply high quality fittings.

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.

Butt welded fittings,can be abridged as BW fittings.Butt welded means the pipe fittings used welded connection to connect with pipes.BW fittings including Elbow, Tee, Cross, Bend, Reducer, Cap, Stub End.Carbon steel always be the material of these fittings as carbon steel has great functions and affordable price.

BW 90 degree elbow is the most chosen type in all types of elbows.It can be long radius (LR) or short radius (SR).ASTM A234 WPC is standard for carbon steel butt welded fittings.There is also a more commonly used standard for carbon steel butt welded fittings is ASTM A234 WPB.

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.

90 deg LR (long radius) elbow is the most used type of BW elbows.Butt welded elbows also have SR (short radius) elbows.Shanghai Zhucheng has experienced pipe fittings factory that can supply high quality goods for many years.

Reducing tee is used to change the direction and reduce the flow of the fluids or gas.Butt welded pipe fittings can weld with the pipes so that can anti leakage effectively.Tees have two types:Equal Tee and Reducing Tee.The commonly used wall thicknesses for butt welded fittings are SCH STD,SCH 80,SCH 160.

If the radius is the same as pipe diameter (Center-to-Face dimension of 1.0 X diameter ), it called Short Radius Elbow (SR elbow) used normally for low pressure and low speed pipelines or in tight areas where clearance is the main issue. If the radius is larger than pipe diameter (Center-to-Face dimension of 1.5 X diameter) then we call it a Long Radius Elbow (LR Elbow) used for high pressure and high flow rate pipelines.

BW equal tees are the most used tees in the all types of tees.There are equal tee and reducing tee.Galvanized carbon steel pipe fittings have better corrosion resistance than carbon steel fittings.

‘The long radius elbow is the elbow which the radius of curvature of is 1.5 times the diameter of the pipe; if the radius of curvature is greater than 1.5 times, the long radius elbow will be called the bend. The short radius elbow means that the radius of curvature of the elbow equals the diameter of the pipe, or 1 time the diameter of the pipe in common words.

Butt weld elbow is a steel elbow formed by hot pressing or forging. Its connection form is to directly weld the elbow and steel pipe. Butt welded elbows have beveled ends to allow for ease of welding. This bevel allows for full penetration weld in most of the cases. Butt welded elbows are mainly used for elbow with higher pressure and temperature.

Butt Weld Fittings include elbows, tees, cross, caps and reduces. These fittings are the most common type of welded pipe fitting and are specified by nominal pipe size and pipe schedule. Buttweld fittings are manufacture by seamless or welded pipe and are formed to get the shape of elbows, tees and cross etc.

Steel pipe cap is usually welded onto end of pipe that blcok off the piping line system, it has same funtion with plug and blind flange. It is available in material of carbon steel, stainless steel and alloy steel.

90 degree elbow’s usage and its specification

ASTM A182 F316 is a popular grade for stainless steel in American Standard.Stainless steel fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

Concentric reducer is used to join pipe sections or tube sections on the same axis The length dimension of the reducer is almost equal to the average of the big bore and smaller bore pipe diameters.
