ASTM A234 WPB STD Buttweld Elbow

Elbow could be ranged from direction angle, connection types, length and radius, material types. As we know, according to fluid direction of the pipelines, elbow can be divided into different degrees, such as 45 degree, 90 degree,180 degree, which are most common degrees. Also there has 60 degree and 120 degree, for some special pipelines.

This kind of elbow is classified by angle, and 45 degree elbow and 180 elbow is also very popular. And steel pipe elbow is also available in 60 degree, 30 degree and other special angle according to practical needs.

A equal tee’s usage,dimension and features.

BW ELBOW are installed between different lengths pipe or tubing. Its function is to change the direction of the fluid by 90 degrees, so it is also called vertical elbow.

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.

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.

BW elbows have the most wide used range in all types of elbows.Shanghai Zhucheng is an excellent supplier for pipe fittings,all the fittings made from carbon steel and alloy steel will have anti-rust paint,and stainless steel fittings will have anti-rust oil to protect the fittings in the sea transportation.

45 deg elbow is a type of elbows.These elbows have similar functions to 90 degree elbow,the only difference is the 90 degree elbow can changes the direction in 90 deg while the 45 degree elbow can changes in 45deg.Shanghai Zhucheng is an excellent stainless steel pipe fittings supplier who supplys high quality pipe fittings and flanges for years.

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.

BW 90 deg elbow is the most used type of elbows in many industries.Schedule 80 is represents the wall thickness of the butt welded fittings.It is a commonly used wall thickness.another wall thickness is SCH 40.

DN900 LR elbow is large dimension fitting,for the large dimension,the elbows always be butt welded.Wall thickness STD is a commonly used thickness of BW fittings,the other commonly used wall thickness are SCH 40, SCH 80.

What is a latera tee and the difference between a wye and a lateral?

A 90 degree elbow attaches readily to plastic, copper, cast iron, steel and lead. It can also attach to rubber with stainless steel clamps. Elbow connectors can link pipes to avoid water leakage and air leakage between pipes.

In the layout of the pipeline system, long radius elbows should generally be used for connection, and short radius elbows are usually used in places where the installation position of the pipeline system is compact or to reduce costs

A234 WPB BW reducer has the most wide ragnge of applications in all types of butt welded reducer, because A234 WPB is the most used grade in carbon steel.Carbon steel pipe fittings are accepted in many projects because these fittings have great functions and reasonable price.

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.

Welded steel pipe is a type of steel pipes,the other type is seamless steel pipe (SMLS).Welded steel pipes also can divided into ERW,SSAW,LASW,DSAW.

ASTM A234 WPB is a common grade for 90 degree long radius elbow, which is one of the highly demanded. They available in a large size and thickness range. They have a good performance and suffices most industrial pipeline needs.

24IN carbon steel BW elbows are large dimension fittings,ASME B16.9 is represents butt welded fittings in American Standard.Carbon steel fittings are used in many applications because of its great excellent functions.

Buttwelding Fittings Specification
Shape: Elbow, Tee, Cross, Bend, Reducer, Cap, Stub End
Size Range: 1/2″ – 80″ / DN15 – 2000
Thickness Schedule: SCH 10,SCH 10S, SCH 20, SCH 40,SCH 40S, STD, XS,SCH 80, SCH 80S, SCH 100, SCH 120, SCH 160, XXS

ASME B 16.9 tee is BW (butt welded) tee belong to butt welded fittings.These tees can bu equal type or reducing type.Normal tees can change the direction of the pipe system of 90 deg.And tees also have lateral tees to change the direction of 45 deg.

BW carbon tee are popular because carbon steel has great functions and cheap price.Coated pipe fittings also used in piping systems as the coating can enhance the functions for normal carbon steel.Galvanized coating is the most used coating,it can enhance the anti-resistance function.

BW reducers have two types:Concentric Reducer and Eccentric Reducer.These two types can meet different demand.This is stainless steel BW COC reducer in the picture.Stainlee steel is better in corrosion resistance,so the used years will be longer than other matercial.

usage,specification of a equal tee and ite difference between a reducing tee.

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.

Elbow is a commonly used connecting pipe fitting in plumbing installation, which is used for connecting pipe bends

BW Reducing tee is one type of pipe tees,the other type is equal tee.These tees have same functions,the only difference is reducing tee can reduce the flow in piping system.Carbon steel fittings are used in many applications because of its great excellent functions.
