butt weld elbow ASME B16.9 SCH10-SCH XXS

Bending radius less than or equal to 1.5 times of pipe diameter belongs to elbow, and bending radius greater than 1.5 times of pipe diameter belongs to elbow

Butt welded fittings,can be abridged as BW fittings.Butt welded means the pipe fittings used welded connection to connect with pipes.BW fittings including Elbow, Tee, Cross, Bend, Reducer, Cap, Stub End.Carbon steel always be the material of these fittings as carbon steel has great functions and affordable price.

What is a pipe Tee,its specification and importance.

ASME B16.9 tee is an American Standard butt welded fitting.BW tees can be two types:Equal Tees and Redcing Tees.These tees have similar functions but reducing tees can reduce the flow while equal tees can not.You could find the summary “Equal VS Reducing” in the content below.

BW (butt welded) reducer can be concentric (COC) reducer and eccentric (EEC) reducer.Among these two types,concentric reducer is more commonly used.The materical of reducer can be carbon steel,alloy steel and stainless steel.Clients can choose different material as their demands.

Concentric reducer’s dimnesions and its usage and advantage

45 ° elbow is also called “45 elbow or 45 ell”, and its bending mode can change the flow direction of fluid / gas in the pipeline by 45 °. The function of a 45 Degree Long Radius Elbow is same as 90 degrees long and short elbow, but the measurement and dimensions are different to that of a 90 degree long and the short elbow.

Butt Weld Fittings include elbows, tees, cross, caps and reduces. These fittings are the most common type of welded pipe fitting and are specified by nominal pipe size and pipe schedule. Buttweld fittings are manufacture by seamless or welded pipe and are formed to get the shape of elbows, tees and cross etc.

45 deg BW elbow can change the direction of fluids or gas by 45 deg,it only has LR (long radius) type while 90 deg butt welded elbow has both LR and SR(short radius) types.Carbon steel is the most used material in pipe fittings because it has great functions to satisfy many applications.

5in SW elbow is used to socketed with pipes and then welded on pipes.ASME B16.11 pipe fittings mean forged pipe fittings.Forged pipe fittings can be divided in socket weld fittings and threaded fittings.

Carbon steel elbows are the most commonly used elbows in all the types and material elbows.Large dimensions elbow is butt welded fitting,you can find the butt welded fittings specification below.

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.

A 90 degree elbow attaches readily to plastic, copper, cast iron, steel and lead. It can also attach to rubber with stainless steel clamps. Available in many materials like silicon, rubber compounds, galvanized steel etc.

Carbon steel elbow dimensions are different depend on the type of the elbow.BW elbows can be 1/2″-80″;SW elbow and THD elbow can be 1/8″-4″.Elbows can be made from carbon steel,alloy steel and stainless steel.Shanghai Zhucheng is an experienced pipe fittings manufacturer for many years.

MSS SP 43 Stainless Steel A403 WP304L Butt Weld Fitting Concentric Reducer,its decription,specfication,material specification and some details when packing.

90 deg elbow is the most chosen degree in elbows.There are also 45 deg and 180 deg elbows.Elbows can be Equal Elbow and Reducing Elbow to satisfy different demands.ASTM A234 WPB is a material grade in American Standard repersents carbon steel butt welded fittings.

When short radius elbows are used, the maximum working pressure should not exceed 0.8 times of long radius elbows of the same specification Miter elbows are usually used for large-size pipes with moderate conditions in low pressure (design pressure s2.0mpa), water and similar fluid media

Radius of Long Radius (LR) Elbows is 1.5 times the pipe diameter. Radius of Carbon Steel Short Radius Elbow is 1.0 times the pipe diameter. Carbon Steel Seamless Elbow are in demand for use between two lengths of pipe or tube allowing a change of direction, usually these elbows distinguished by connection ends.

Pipe elbows have three types:THD (threaded),SW (socket weld),BW (butt welded).These elbows used different connections to connect with the pipes in piping system.Stainless steel fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel fittings can used over 50 years.

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.

Pipe tees can be equal tee and reducing tee.These tees have same functions,the only difference is reducing tee can reduce the flow in piping system.ASME B16.9 is American Standard for butt welded fittings.

45° Pipe Elbow is also known as “45 bends or 45 ells”. The 45° pipe elbow is used to connect tubes at a 45° pipe angle. As the name suggests, this is a pipe fitting device which is bent in such a way to produce 45° change in the direction of flow of the fluid/gas in the pipe.

When the direction change angle of the single section of the miter elbow is greater than 45, it should not be used in the pipeline with toxic and combustible media, or in the pipeline subject to vibration, pressure pulsation and alternating load due to temperature change

Large diameter equal tee is belong to butt welded fittings because BW fittings size range is 1/2″-80″ while the forged fittings only have 1/8″-4″.Carbon steel fittings are used in many applications because of its great excellent functions.

Concentric reducer in a pipe system, its making process and its difference between a eccentric reducer.

Elbow is divided into carbon steel, cast steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum alloy, plastic, argon, PPC, etc. Its function is to change the direction of the fluid by 90 degrees, so it is also called vertical elbow.

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.
