What is LR 90 elbow?

Long Radius 90° Elbows make a 90 degree change of direction in the run of the pipe. The radius of the bend in this elbow is “long radius”, or in other words, greater than that of the nominal size.A 90° elbow long tangent is a long radius (LR) with the centerline curvature equal to 1-1/2 times the nominal pipe size (NPS) and a straight extension at both ends (long tangent) for 2 inch and larger sizes. Tangent elbows provide a straight length at the end to accept a Slip-on Flange.
