ASTM A234 WPB BUTT WELDING PIPE FITTING STEEL PIPE TEE ASME B 16.9 MSS SP43

What is a straight and reducing tee and Dimensions and Standards

A pipe tee isuaually used in different industries,petroleum, natural gas, chemical, water and electricity, building and boiler industries.What’s the advantage ,how to choose a suitable tee ?

90 deg elbow is the most used degree in elbows,.Butt welded fittings including BW elbows which used welded connection to connect with pipes.There is also 45 degree elbows.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.

A Reducing Tee is a T-shaped pipe fitting with two outlets that cut at 90 degrees to the main line. These tees are available with a combination of diverse outlet sizes. In this, the branch port size is smaller than the other ports of the run.

Welded steel pipes are popular because of the strong and permanent connection,the ends of the pipes can welded with flanges.Slip on (SO) flange can slip on the pipe,and then welded on the pipes.

BW carbon steel reducer is the most used type of BW reducers.Butt welded reducer can be concentric (COC) reducer and eccentric (ECC) reducer to meet different demands.SCH 160 fittings are belong to large wall thickness,these fittings can resist high pressure in piping system.

Long Radius (LR) Elbow is also called LR elbow – means the radius is 1.5 times the pipe diameter
L/R 45°Elbow: Long radius 45 degree elbow changes the direction by 45 degrees.
L/R 90°Elbow: Long radius 90 degree elbow changes the direction by 90 degrees.
L/R 180°Elbow: Long Radius 180 degree return bend allows complete reversal of flow.

Concentric reducers are tapered and are used when the diameter between pipes changes. It can be axially shifted and externally reconfigured to offer more efficient reducer connection.

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. 

The elbow radius mean curvature radius. If the radius is the same as pipe diameter, it called short radius elbow, also called SR elbow, normally for low pressure and low speed pipelines. If the radius is larger than pipe diameter, R ≥ 1.5 Diameter, then we call it a long radius elbow (LR Elbow), applied for high pressure and high flow rate pipelines.

BW elbows are belong to butt welded fittings,wall thickness of BW fittings decided the pressure that the fittings can resistance.Wall thickness SCH 40 is a commonly used wall thickness in butt welded fittings.

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

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.

ASTM A234 WPB Eccentric Reducers are pipe fittings used to connect two pipes of different diameters, with the centerline of one pipe being offset from the other.

Carbon steel tee is the most used tees because of the great material.Shanghai Zhucheng is an excellent pipe fittings supplier who supplys high quality pipe fittings and flanges for years.Carbon steel fittings are used in many applications because of its great excellent functions.

The long radius is used most commonly, and it is also the default radius. When it is the place with the high pressure or the high flow rate, the long radius elbow is usually used. If the resistance requirements of the solid transmission pipeline are strict, the larger radius elbows will be used.

Concentric reducers facilitate the delivery of mud and abrasive fluids and are suitable for corrosive operations and where different ratings and wear protection are required between flanges.

BW elbow and reducer are both commonly used pipe fittings in piping systems.A234 WPB is the most used grade for carbon steel butt welded fittings.

What is a 90° pipe elbow and what its application

SS 304/304L elbow is stainless steel pipe fitting.304/604L is the most commonly used grade of stainless steel in American Standard.Elbows can made as 90 deg and 45 deg.Among these,90 degree elbows can be LR and SR while 45 degree elbows only have LR type.

Stainless 90 deg elbow has better anti-corrosive function than other material elbows.90 degree elbow can be two types: LR (long radius) and SR (short radius).Elbows can also be 45 degree,but 45 deg elbow only has LR type.

Tee welding joints are formed when two pieces intersect at a 90° angle. This results in the edges coming together in the center of a plate or component in a ‘T’ shape. Tee joints are considered to be a type of fillet weld, and they can also be formed when a tube or pipe is welded onto a base plate.

Carbon steel pipe fittings are used in many applications because of its great excellent functions.Carbon steel pipe fittings can manufactured as THD (threaded) fittings,SW (socket weld) fittings and (BW) butt welded fittings.The specifications are in the content below.

Pipe tees have two types: Equal Tee and Reducing Tee.These tees have similar functions but reducing tee have one more function,reducing tees can reduce the flow in the pipe system.Shanghai Zhucheng is an excellent pipe fittings manufacturer who supplys high quality fittings and flanges for years.

BW reducer can be concentric (COC) reducer and eccentric (ECC) reducer.The main difference is the internal structure.COC and ECC types reducers could meet different demands in many applications.You could find the summary “COC VS ECC” in the content below.

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.
