ASTM 234WPB 24IN 45 Degree Pipe Elbow

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 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.

The connection methods of elbow and pipe include: direct welding (the most common method), flange connection, hot melt connection, electric fusion connection, thread connection and socket connection

The surface quality and mechanical properties of the elbow are almost the same as the pipe’s. To facilitate welding, the long radius elbow should be made of the same kind material of the pipe to be connected.

45 deg elbow has three types:BW (butt welded) elbow,SW (socket welded) elbow and THD (threaded) elbow.Elbows can also be 90 degree and 180 degree to meet different demands.Shanghai Zhucheng is an experienced pipe fittings manufacturer who supplys high quality pipe fittings and flanges for many years.

Butt weld fittings are manufacture by seamless or welded pipe. For pipe fittings manufacturers, the forming process of welded pipe and seamless pipe is basically same. Butt welded fittings can be divided into carbon steel butt welded fittings and stainless-steel butt-welded fittings

If the radius is the same as pipe diameter (Center-to-Face dimension of 1.0 X diameter ), it called Short Radius Elbow (SR elbow) used normally for low pressure and low speed pipelines or in tight areas where clearance is the main issue. If the radius is larger than pipe diameter (Center-to-Face dimension of 1.5 X diameter) then we call it a Long Radius Elbow (LR Elbow) used for high pressure and high flow rate pipelines.

180 deg elbow is not commonly used but indispensable pipe fitting.180 degree elbow can changes the pipe systems in 180 degree.Carbon and alloy steel pipe fittings always be chosen in many industries because of the great functions and reasonable price.

BW 90 degree elbow is the most used elbow in all types of elbows.BW fittings are popular because it can achieve strong and permanent connection.Stainless pipe fittings are famous for the excellent anti-corrosive function.Shanghai Zhucheng can supply many kinds of pipe fittings made from stainless steel.

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.

Long radius elbow refers to the pipe outer diameter with radius of curvature equal to 1.5 times, i.e R = 1.5D. Most elbows are available in short radius or long radius variants. When the two ends differ in size, the fitting is called a reducing elbow or reducer elbow.

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.

12in concentric reducer is a normal size pipe fitting that can used for many applications.SCH 80 is a commonly used wall thickness for BW fittings.There are two types of reducer:concentric (COC) reducer and eccentric (ECC) reducer.These reducers have same functions,the only difference is the internal structure.

An elbow is a pipe fitting installed between two lengths of pipe or tubing to allow a change of direction, usually a 180° or 90° angle, though 45° elbows are also made. The ends may be machined for butt welding (SW) or socketed welding(SW) etc.

Pipe tee is a commonly used pipe fittng used to branch the flow in piping systems.There are two types of tees:Equal Tees and Reducing Tees.SCH XS is a wall thickness of butt welded fittings,SCH XS is large wall thickness which can resists higher perssure.The most used wall thicknesses are SCH 40 and SCH 80.

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.

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.

Stainless steel tee has two types:Equal Tee and Redcuing Tee.These two types of tees have same functions,the only difference can reduce the flow in the piping system.Stainless steel pipe fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

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.API 5L B is a grade of carbon steel material for pipes and bends.

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.

According to its radius of curvature, there are long radius elbow and short radius elbow. Long radius elbow refers to its radius of curvature is equal to 1.5 times the outside diameter of the pipe, that is, R=1.5D; A short radius elbow means that its radius of curvature is equal to the outer diameter of the pipe, that is, R= 1.0d.(D is the diameter of the elbow, and R is the radius of curvature).

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

Pipe crossing is used where four pipes intersect. The cross pipe may have one inlet and three outlets, or three inlets and one outlet. The diameter of the outlet and inlet can be the same or different.

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 body of the branch abutment is made of high-quality forgings, which are made of the same materials as the pipes, including carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, etc. The branch pipe seat and the main pipe are welded
