ASME B16.9 Buttwelding Fittings Stainless Steel Reducing Tee

The function of butt weld elbow is to change direction or flow in a piping system. There are the 45°, 90° and 180° .
According to the material, it can be divided into carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless-steel.
According to its radius of curvature, there are long radius  and short radius butt weld elbow.

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.

BW reducer and elbow both commonly used pipe fittings used welding type to connect with pipes and transport flow in piping system.ASME B16.9 fittings are butt welded fittings according to American Standard.

ASTM A403 Stainless Steel Butt Weld 45 Degree Elbow refers to the material of forged and rolled austenitic stainless fittings for pressure pipes. Common grades are WP304/L, WP316/L. They can be used into many fields as engineering industry, energy conversion plants etc. ASTM A403 WP304, WP316 Elbow are buttweld fittings made for austenitic stainless steel applications with forged material.

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.

According to fluid flow direction of the pipes, elbows can be divided into different degrees, such as 45 degree, 90 degree, 180 degree, which are most common elbows. Also there are 60 degree and 120 degree elbows for some special pipelines. This degree is just an representation of the angle by which the fluid flow is going to change after flowing through the said elbow.

90 deg long radius elbow is a commonly used type in elbows.There are aslo 90 degree short radius elbow and 45 degree elbow.Stainless steel pipe fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

‘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 welded lateral tee is a special type of BW tees.It is different from the normal tees as the lateral tee can change the direction of the pipe system in 45 degree.Carbon steel fittings are the most used fittings as carbon steel material has great functions and affordable price.

Carbon BW tee is wide used in many applications because welded connection can provide permanent connection.Schedule XS is wall thickness of this tee in the picture.In addition,the commonly used wall thicknesses:SCH40, SCH80.

BW carbon tee are popular because carbon steel has great functions and cheap price.Coated pipe fittings also used in piping systems as the coating can enhance the functions for normal carbon steel.Galvanized coating is the most used coating,it can enhance the anti-resistance function.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

How to use a BW tee in a pipesystem,what about its specification and advantages.

316L 90 deg elbow is a stainless steel pipe fitting which can used in chemical environment because of its an-ti corrosive function.SCH 10S is repersents to the wall thickness in butt welded fittings. Commonly used wall thickness is SCH 40 and SCH 80.Stainless steel pipe fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

Steel pipe tee has three branches that can change fluid direction. It has T-shaped or Y-shaped, and include Equal Tee and Reducing Tee (Reducer Tee). Steel tee is widely used in pipe networks for convey liquids and gases.

ASME B16.9 cross is a pipe fitting used to connect four pipes together, and the connection is achieved by welding. It plays a role in diversion or confluence in the pipeline system and is an important connector in the pipeline layout.

BW 90 elbow is the most used degree,there is also 45 deg elbow to choose.These elbows have similar functions,the only difference is the 90 degree elbow can changes the direction in 90 deg while the 45 degree elbow can changes in 45deg.ASME B16.9 is American Standard of butt welded fittings.

Steel pipe elbow is an important parts in plumbing pipeline systems and used to change the fluid directions. It ranges in different types as per body material there are stainless steel elbow, carbon steel elbow, and alloy steel;

Pipe elbows are fitting accessories which are used widely in various industrial sectors in pipe fitting. A pipe elbow is frequently used in pressurized applications and are available in various shapes and sizes for use in different applications. A pipe elbow is a fitting installed between two lengths of pipe or tube allowing a change of direction, usually in the 90° or 45° direction.

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.

Elbow is divided into carbon steel, cast steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum alloy, plastic, argon, PPC, etc. Its function is to change the direction of the fluid by 90 degrees, so it is also called vertical elbow.

Steel pipe tee has three types: BW (butt welded),SW (socket welded),THD (threaded).The branches can be equal and reducing.Shanghai Zhucheng is a superior pipe fittings supplier who provide high quality pipe fittings and forged flanges in years.

304/316L BW tees are the most used tees in stainless steel tees.304/316L are the most used grades in American Standard.Tees can be Equal Tees and Reducing Tees.You could find the summary “Equal VS Reducing Tee” in the content below.Stainless steel pipe fittings are populat because of the excellent functions of corrosion resistance.
