ASME B16.9 Steel Pipe Cross Fittings

a pipe bend’s dimension and its difference between an elbow.

Equal diameter tee, also known as straight tee, the branch diameter of the tee is the same as the pipe diameter of the tee. The three branches of tee have same diameters.

Carbon steel elbow is the most used material in elbows.Carbon steel fittings are used in many applications because of its great excellent functions.ASME B16.9 is represents the American Standard of butt fittings.The end of Butt welded fittings are connected to the pipe system by butt welding.

The radius of both the 45 degree and 90 Degree long and short elbow is the same however, the center to face dimension is not equivalent due to the smaller degree of bend.

Steel Pipe Elbow is the most common pipe fitting that changes the direction of the pipeline. It plays a important role in the piping system.

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.

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.

When the direction change angle of the single section of the miter elbow is greater than 45, it should not be used in the pipeline with toxic and combustible media, or in the pipeline subject to vibration, pressure pulsation and alternating load due to temperature change

Concentric reducers are perfectly suitable to use in the exclusion of the pump. It is cone-shaped, and is used when there is a shift in diameter between pipes. A pipe reducer is available in various specifications, such as a single diameter change and also in a multiple diameter change.

BW elbow is the most used elbows in all the type of elbows.There are types of elbows:BW (butt welded),SW (socket welded) and THD (threaded).Alloy steel pipe fittings are popular because the material is similar to carbon steel and its material can satisfy different 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

BW tees and reducers are the most used pipe fittings in the piping system.Tees can branch the flow in piping systems.Carbon steel pipe fittings are popular as the great functions and affordable functions.

Steel pipe bend is belong to butt welded fittings,bends have some similar usages as elbows.However,bends can be customized by clients to satisfy different demands.

Pipe elbows have three types:THD (threaded),SW (socket weld),BW (butt welded).These elbows used different connections to connect with the pipes in piping system.Stainless steel fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel fittings can used over 50 years.

SS 316L elbow has better corrosion resistance than other material elbows.Butt welded fittings will use welded connection to connect with pipes,so these fittings have great anti leakage function.SS316L elbows always be chosen because of its excellent functions so that it can be used in many 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.

90 deg elbow is always used in piping systems.The other degree of elbows is 45 deg elbow.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.A403 WP316L is a grade for stainless steel in American Standard.

ASME B16.9 Stainless Steel Butt Weld Cross Fittings The function of a cross is similar to that of a tee by means of the exception of providing two 90 Deg outlets opposite each other.

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.

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.

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.

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

BW 90 degree elbow is formed by hot forming and connects steel pipes or other pipe fittings through butt welding process. Its function is to change the direction of the fluid by 90 degrees, so it is also called vertical elbow.

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.

There are two types of 90 deg elbows:LR (long radius),SR (short radius).45 deg eblows are also have wide applications,be attention,45 deg elbow only have LR type.Butt welded pipe fittings have the most large used range as it can be 1/2″ – 80″.
