ASTM B16.11 High pressure 3000# lb Forged Steel 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.

ASME B16.11 is the standard contains ratings, dimensions, tolerances, marking and material requirements for forged fittings, both socket-welding and threaded. Threaded fittings are available in pressure ratings Class 2000, 3000, and 6000;

Socket welding fittings are available in pressure ratings Class 3000, 6000, and 9000.

A Socket Weld Fittings is a pipe attachment detail in which a pipe is inserted into a recessed area of a Valve, fitting or flange. Once correctly inserted, fillet type sealing welds are applied to join the pipe to the fitting.

Different from buttweld fittings, Socket Weld fittings are mainly used for small pipe diameters (Small Bore Piping); generally, for piping whose nominal diameter is NPS 2 or smaller.

 

These fittings are commonly called SW pipe fittings that include elbows, tees, cross, caps, coupling and union.

 

Socket welds can be used to change the direction of travel for pipe networks as well as join pipes at different angles and of different diameters.
