ASME B16.9 Steel Pipe Cross Fittings

What is a pipe Tee,its specification and importance.

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 are mainly used for elbow with higher pressure and temperature than other connection types. According to the valve body material, it has stainless steel, carbon steel and alloy steel elbow

BW (butt welded）reducer has two types:concentric reducer and eccentric reducer.As it is butt welded fitting,its size can be 1/2″ – 80″,so butt welded fittings can be used in many applications.Stainless steel fittings are more expensive but the functions are also better than others.

The butt welded eccentric reducer is a pipe fitting used to connect pipes of different diameters, and its central axes do not overlap, and there is an eccentricity.

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.

The reducing tee has two outlets cut at 90 degrees with the main pipe, and the size of the branch pipe is smaller than the port of the pipeline. It is used for main pipe string accessories, solvent welding accessories, side outlet and conflicting soluble welding accessories

It helps to change direction at 90 degree, and is commonly used to connect hoses to pumps, deck drains and valve.SR 90 degree elbow is the same as the pipe elbow mentioned above, but the diameter is shorter. Therefore, this kind of steel elbow is often used when space is not enough.A 90 degree elbow 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.

DN1400 BW elbow is a very large size in pipe fittings.The size of fittings are important for piping systems.Carbon steel fittings are used in many applications because of its great excellent functions.

What is a 90 degree elbos and its classification.

BW reducers can be concentric (COC) reducer and eccentric (ECC) reducer.These reducers have same functions,the only difference is the internal structure.Stainless pipe fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

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.

45 degree elbows have same functions to 90 degree elbows,the only different is 45 deg elbow changes the direction of pipes in 45 deg while the 90 deg elbow changes the direction in 90 deg.BW pipe fittings are popular as its strong and permanent connection.

Classify,specification of a BW 90 degree elbow

Concentric Reducer (COC Reducer),is one type of BW reducer.The other type is Eccentric Reducer (ECC Reducer).The two types reducers can meet different demands,You could find the “Concentric VS Eccentric” below to learn the usages for these two types reducers.

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.

Elbows and seamless elbows are often used in the bending parts of pipes to change the direction of pipes Its function is to change the direction of the fluid by 90 degrees, so it is also called vertical elbow.

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”.

A 90 degree elbow 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.

Carbon steel elbow has two degrees:90 deg and 45 deg.In real application,90 deg is more used type.90 deg elbow can be long radius (LR) and short radius (SR) while 45 deg elbow only has long radius (LR).

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.ASME B16.9 is American Standard for butt welded fittings.

ASME B 16.9 lateral tee is one special type of BW tees.It has similar functions to the normal tee,the only difference is the lareral tee can change the direction in 45 degree while the normal one changes in 90 degree.

Equal BW tee is a commonly used fittings in butt welded fittings.ASTM A234 WPB WPC are both grades for carbon steel fittings.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.

Concentric reducers provide an in-line conical transition between pressurized pipes of different diameters. It is cone-shaped, and is used when there is a shift in diameter between pipes.
