ASME B16.9 Tee Carbon Steel Pipe Fittings

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

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.

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.

Welded steel pipes are popular because of the strong and permanent connection,the ends of the pipes can welded with flanges.Slip on (SO) flange can slip on the pipe,and then welded on the pipes.

SS 304/316 pipe tees are popular because these tees have excellent corrosion resistance.Tees can made for three types:BW (butt welded) tee,SW (socket weld) tee,THD (threaded) tee.Clients can choose different type of tees to satisfy different demands.ASME B 16.9 is represents butt welded fittings in American Standard.SW fittings and THD fittings are belong to forged fittings which marked as ASME B 16.11.

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.

Whatis the difference between concentric and eccentric reducers?

ASME B16.9 butt welded fittings are American Standard BW fittings.COC Reducer means concentric reducer,BW reducers can be concentric (COC) reducer and eccentric (ECC) reducer.These reducers have same functions,the only difference is the internal structure.

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.

A pipe tee isuaually used in different industries,petroleum, natural gas, chemical, water and electricity, building and boiler industries.What’s the advantage ,how to choose a suitable tee ?

LR 90 degree steel pipe elbow are installed between different lengths pipe or tubing, It helps to change direction at 90 degree.

It is used to handle any high or low weight fluid flow through the tee.Reducing tee is a kind of pipe fitting whose branch size is smaller than the size of pipeline parts. It is used for main pipe string accessories, solvent welding accessories, side outlet and conflicting soluble welding accessories. Such fittings are important because they meet two needs, that is, to connect or separate liquid streams. They are widely used in positive and vacuum applications.

BW (butt welded) reducer can be concentric (COC) reducer and eccentric (EEC) reducer.Among these two types,concentric reducer is more commonly used.The materical of reducer can be carbon steel,alloy steel and stainless steel.Clients can choose different material as their demands.

An equal tee, otherwise called straight tee, means the branch diameter of this tee is same with the main pipe (Run pipe) diameter of this tee.
A pipe tee is defined “equal” when the bore size at the run and branch sides have the same diameter. An equal tee is, therefore, used to connect two pipes of the same nominal diameter.

Concentric reducers will change kindly between the pump and piping， Concentric reducers are used to connect pipe segments or pipe segments on the same axis.

A234 WPB/WPC BW concentric reducers are carbon steel butt welded fittings,among these,A234 WPB is more chosen in many industries.BW reducers can be concentric (COC) reducer and eccentric (ECC) reducer.These reducers have same functions,the only difference is the internal structure.

45 deg elbow is a type of elbows.These elbows have similar functions to 90 degree elbow,the only difference is the 90 degree elbow can changes the direction in 90 deg while the 45 degree elbow can changes in 45deg.Shanghai Zhucheng is an excellent stainless steel pipe fittings supplier who supplys high quality pipe fittings and flanges for years.

BW equal tee is always used in piping system to branch the pipes.ASME B16.9 Pipe Fittings are butt welded fittings in American Standard.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.

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.

It is used for main pipe string accessories, solvent welding accessories, side outlet and conflicting soluble welding accessories. Such fittings are important because they meet two needs, that is, to connect or separate liquid streams. They are widely used in positive and vacuum applications.

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.

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.
