A234 WP22 Elbow 45 And 90 DEG

The function of a 45 degree elbow is the same as a 90 degree elbow, but the measurement of dimensions is different to that of the 90 degree elbow.Compared to 90 degree elbow, 45 degree elbow produces less friction, and with the lower pressure.

BW 90 degree elbow is usually be carbon steel for large dimensions.Butt welded 90 deg elbow also can be alloy steel and stainless steel.Steel pipe fittings are used in piping systems in many industries.

BW reducer can be concentric (COC) reducer and eccentric (ECC) reducer.The main difference is the internal structure.COC and ECC types reducers could meet different demands in many applications.You could find the summary “COC VS ECC” in the content below.

BW elbow types have BW (butt welded),SW (socket weld),THD (threaded).The butt welded elbow is the most used type.Elbows have two shapes:Equal and Reducing.Shanghai Zhucheng is a pipe fittings manufacturer who can supply 45 deg,90 deg and 180 deg elbows.

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.

BW Elbow Fittings can also attach to rubber with stainless steel clamps. Available in many materials like silicon, rubber compounds, galvanized steel etc,

Schedule 80 elbow is BW pipe fittings,schedule is also called “SCH”,it is represents the wall thickness of butt welded fittings and steel pipes.The commonly used wall thicknesses: SCH 40,SCH 80.

Steel pipe bend is belong to butt welded fittings.The bend radius R should greater than or equal to 3 times of the outside diameter.Bends could manufacture as the customize degree to meet the client’s demends.

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.

Carbon steel elbow dimensions are different depend on the type of the elbow.BW elbows can be 1/2″-80″;SW elbow and THD elbow can be 1/8″-4″.Elbows can be made from carbon steel,alloy steel and stainless steel.Shanghai Zhucheng is an experienced pipe fittings manufacturer for many years.

ASME B 16.9 tee is BW (butt welded) tee belong to butt welded fittings.These tees can bu equal type or reducing type.Normal tees can change the direction of the pipe system of 90 deg.And tees also have lateral tees to change the direction of 45 deg.

Long radius elbow refers to the pipe outer diameter with radius of curvature equal to 1.5 times, i.e R = 1.5D.
Short radius elbow means that its radius of curvature is equal to the outer diameter of the tube, i.e R = 1.0D

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.

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.

Difference between a pipe elbow and a pipe bend is as follows:

Concentric reducer in a pipe system, its making process and its difference between a eccentric reducer.

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.

The length dimension of the reducer is almost equal to the average of the big bore and smaller bore pipe diameters. Concentric reducers are easy to transport mud and grinding fluid and are suitable for corrosive operations

0 degree elbow, also called “90 bends or 90 elbows”, are manufactured as SR (Short Radius) elbows and LR (Long Radius) elbows.

Branches of tees have two types:Equal tee and Reducing tee.These two types tees have same functions,but reducing tee has one more function:it can reduce the flow of the gas or fluids.Butt welded fittings are the most used fittings in many applications because the size range of the BW fittings is big.

45 degree elbow is second common use after 90 degree elbow. The function of a 45 degree elbow is the same as a 90 degree elbow, but the measurement of dimensions is different to that of the 90 degree elbow.

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.

BW elbows have the most wide used range in all types of elbows.Shanghai Zhucheng is an excellent supplier for pipe fittings,all the fittings made from carbon steel and alloy steel will have anti-rust paint,and stainless steel fittings will have anti-rust oil to protect the fittings in the sea transportation.

BW elbow is popular because of the strong and permanent connection.The anti corrosion function of carbon steel and alloy steel is not as good as stainless steel,so coated pipes and fittings have paint or oil to protect the fittings during sea transportion.

ASME B16.9 BW 90 elbow is pipe fitting manufactured according to American Standard.ASME B16.9 is American Standard of butt welded fittings.There is BW elbow in the picture,you could find the specification and dimensions below.

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.

Radius of Long Radius (LR) Elbows is 1.5 times the pipe diameter. Radius of Carbon Steel Short Radius Elbow is 1.0 times the pipe diameter. Carbon Steel Seamless Elbow are in demand for use between two lengths of pipe or tube allowing a change of direction, usually these elbows distinguished by connection ends.

Concentric reducers are easy to transport mud and grinding fluid and are suitable for corrosive operations , It will change kindly between the pump and piping.

Pipe tees can be equal tee and reducing tee.These tees have same functions,the only difference is the reducing tee can reduce the flow in the piping system.Stainless steel fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.
