90 Degree Steel Pipe Elbow ASTM 234WPB Pipe Fittings

Steel pipe bend is a butt welded fitting to transport fluids or gas.The degree of steel bend will be customize according to the client’s demend.Pipe bend and elbow have some similarity,you could find the summary “pipe bend VS elbow” below.

What is a straight and reducing tee and Dimensions and Standards

Pipe Elbow is installed between two long pipes for changing the direction of the flow of liquid or fluid. These are commonly available in two types; 90 degrees and 45 degrees. Its function is to change the direction of the fluid by 90 degrees, so it is also called vertical elbow.

24IN carbon steel BW elbows are large dimension fittings,ASME B16.9 is represents butt welded fittings in American Standard.Carbon steel fittings are used in many applications because of its great excellent functions.

Stainless 90 deg elbow has better anti-corrosive function than other material elbows.90 degree elbow can be two types: LR (long radius) and SR (short radius).Elbows can also be 45 degree,but 45 deg elbow only has LR type.

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.

BW Reducing tee is one type of pipe tees,the other type is equal tee.These tees have same functions,the only difference is reducing tee can reduce the flow in piping system.Carbon steel fittings are used in many applications because of its great excellent functions.

ASTM A234WP5 6IN SCH40 90DEGREE ELBOW Fittings attaches readily to plastic, copper, cast iron, steel and lead. It can also attach to rubber with stainless steel clamps. Available in many materials like silicon, rubber compounds, galvanized steel etc,

45 deg elbow can change the direction of fluids or gas in 45 degree.There is also has 90 deg elbow to be chosen.45 degree elbow has many diffences with 90 degree elbow.All types of elbows can be Equal Tee and Reducing Tee to satisfy different demands.

45 degree elbow produces less friction, and with the lower pressure. 45 degree elbow is widely used in chemical industry, food, water supply facilities, electronic industry, chemical pipeline, horticulture, agricultural production, solar equipment pipeline, air conditioning pipeline and other fields.

The Butt Weld 45 Degree Elbow is a pipe connector in the shape of a curved pipe section with a bending angle of 45°. It consists of a curved part and straight edge parts at both ends. The radius of curvature of the curved part is an important parameter, which is usually determined according to the nominal diameter of the pipe and the use requirements.

Buttwelding Fittings Specification
Shape: Elbow, Tee, Cross, Bend, Reducer, Cap, Stub End
Size Range: 1/2″ – 80″ / DN15 – 2000
Thickness Schedule: SCH 10,SCH 10S, SCH 20, SCH 40,SCH 40S, STD, XS,SCH 80, SCH 80S, SCH 100, SCH 120, SCH 160, XXS

The function of a 45 Degree Long Radius Elbow is same as 90 degrees long and short elbow, but the measurement and dimensions are different to that of a 90 degree long and the short elbow.

This kind of elbow is classified by angle, and 45 degree elbow and 180 elbow is also very popular. And steel pipe elbow is also available in 60 degree, 30 degree and other special angle according to practical needs.

DN900 LR elbow is large dimension fitting,for the large dimension,the elbows always be butt welded.Wall thickness STD is a commonly used thickness of BW fittings,the other commonly used wall thickness are SCH 40, SCH 80.

Compared to 90 degree elbow, 45 degree elbow produces less friction, and with the lower pressure. 45 degree elbow is widely used in chemical industry, food, water supply facilities, electronic industry, chemical pipeline, horticulture, agricultural production, solar equipment pipeline, air conditioning pipeline and other fields.

Butt Weld Fittings are manufacture by seamless or welded pipe. For pipe fittings manufacturers, the forming process of welded pipe and seamless pipe is basically same. Butt welded fittings can be divided into carbon steel butt welded fittings and stainless-steel butt-welded fittings.

Concentric reducers provide an in-line conical transition between pressurized pipes of different diameters. It is used to connect pipe segments or pipe segments on the same axis.

Butt weld elbow is the most used type of elbows.It can welded with the pipes to achieve strong and permanent connection.Stainless steel fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel fittings can used over 50 years.

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.

What is Galvanizing?

Galvanizing, or galvanization, is a manufacturing process where a coating of zinc is applied to steel or iron to offer protection and prevent rusting. There are several galvanizing processes available, but the most commonly offered and used method is called hot-dip galvanizing.

ASTM A234 specification has many grades, such as WPB, WPC, WP5, WP9 WP11, WP12, WP22, WP91 and so on.
In these standard Grade WPB is the most common material used for medium and high temperature pipelines. W means weldable, P means pressure, B is grade b, refer to the minimum yield strength.

BW elbow can welded with pipes to achieve strong and permanent connection.ASTM A234 WPB pipe fittings are the most popular carbon steel fittings.There is also has A234 WPC for carbon steel fittings.

The characteristic of concentric reducers is that their center lines coincide, that is, the centers of the large and small heads are on the same straight line. This design allows the flow direction of the fluid to remain basically unchanged when passing through the reducer, reducing the resistance caused by the change in flow direction.

Stainless steel pipe fittings including Tee,Cross, Elbow, Reducer, Coupling, Nipple, Plug & Cap,Union.They can be connected with pipes by welding, socket and thread.
