Butt Welded Pipe Fitting Reducer Pipe Fittings

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 the use of Weldolet?

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.

A234 WPB Carbon Steel Buttweld 90 Deg Elbow’s usage

An equal tee, otherwise called straight tee, means the branch diameter of this tee is same with the main pipe (Run pipe) diameter of this tee.
A pipe tee is defined “equal” when the bore size at the run and branch sides have the same diameter. An equal tee is, therefore, used to connect two pipes of the same nominal diameter.

Steel pipe bend is belong to butt welded fittings,bends have some similar usages as elbows.However,bends can be customized by clients to satisfy different demands.Schedule 80 is represents to the wall thickness of BW fittings.The most used wall thicknesses of butt welded fittings are SCH 40,SCH 80.

ASTM A234 specification has many grades, such as WPB, WPC, WP5, WP9 WP11, WP12, WP22, WP91 and so on.
In these standard Grade WPB is the most common material used for medium and high temperature pipelines. W means weldable, P means pressure, B is grade b, refer to the minimum yield strength.

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.

90 degree steel pipe elbow functioned to change fluid direction by 90 degree, so also named as vertical elbow. It is the common degree in all the pipeline systems and used most in all different degree of elbows

Elbows and seamless elbows are often used in the bending parts of pipes to change the direction of pipes Its function is to change the direction of the fluid by 90 degrees, so it is also called vertical elbow.

There are two types of tees:Equal Tee and Reducing Tee.Both types of tees can branches the pipes but reducing tees can also reduce the flow.Schedule 40 is a commonly used wall thickness in butt welded fittings.

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.

Concentric reducers provide an in-line conical transition between pressurized pipes of different diameters. It is used to connect pipe segments or pipe segments on the same axis.

An elbow is a pipe fitting installed between two lengths of pipe or tubing to allow a change of direction, usually a 180° or 90° angle, though 45° elbows are also made. The ends may be machined for butt welding (SW) or socketed welding(SW) etc.

Butt welded cross is pipe fitting used to transport the flow in piping systems.BW cross can connect four pipes vertically with welded connection.Cross can be two types:Equal and Reducing.These crosses have similar functions,but reducing tees can reduce the flow while equal tees can not.

45 degree elbow produces less friction, and with the lower pressure. 45 degree elbow is widely used in chemical industry, food, water supply facilities, electronic industry, chemical pipeline, horticulture, agricultural production, solar equipment pipeline, air conditioning pipeline and other fields.

LR 90 degree steel pipe elbow are installed between different lengths pipe or tubing. It helps to change direction at 90 degree, and is commonly used to connect hoses to pumps, deck drains and valve.

Steel tee is a T-shaped pipe fittings that has three branches, normally has two forms with Equal Tee and Reducing Tee, both are used to divide the pipelines to adjust the flow rate and change the direction.

The pipes cannot appreciate because of what the external arrangement of the pipe reducer seems but the flow of the pipe is changed by the internal width conical transition arrangement.

Pipe crossing is used where four pipes intersect. The cross pipe may have one inlet and three outlets, or three inlets and one outlet. The diameter of the outlet and inlet can be the same or different.

Butt weld elbow is a steel elbow formed by hot pressing or forging. Its connection form is to directly weld the elbow and steel pipe. Butt welded elbows have beveled ends to allow for ease of welding. This bevel allows for full penetration weld in most of the cases. Butt welded elbows are mainly used for elbow with higher pressure and temperature.

ASME B16.9 BW reducer used the most used standard for butt welded fittings.arbon steel fittings are used in many applications because of its great excellent functions.BW reducers can be concentric (COC) reducer and eccentric (ECC) reducer.These reducers have same functions,the only difference is the internal structure.

A234 WP22 elbow is a alloy steel pipe fitting used in piping systems.A234 WP22 is represents alloy steel butt welded fittings in American Standard.Elbows can manufactured as 45 and 90 deg.These elbows have similar functions,the only difference is 45 degree elbow can changes the direction of pipes in 45 degree while 90 degree elbow can changes in 90 deg.

Compared to 90 degree elbow, 45 degree elbow produces less friction, and with the lower pressure. 45 degree elbow is widely used in chemical industry, food, water supply facilities, electronic industry, chemical pipeline, horticulture, agricultural production, solar equipment pipeline, air conditioning pipeline and other fields.

According to its radius of curvature, it can be divided into long radius elbow and short radius elbow. Long radius elbow means that its radius of curvature is equal to 1.5 times the outer diameter of the pipe, that is, r = 1.5D. Short radius elbow means that its radius of curvature is equal to the outer diameter of the pipe, that is, r = 1.0d.

BW reducers can be concentric (COC) reducer and eccentric (ECC) reducer.These reducers have same functions,the only difference is the internal structure.There are the applications for eccentric reducer.

Butt weld elbow is a steel elbow formed by hot pressing or forging. Its connection form is to directly weld the elbow and steel pipe. Butt welded elbows are mainly used for elbow with higher pressure and temperature than other connection types. According to the valve body material, it has stainless steel, carbon steel and alloy steel elbow

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.
