BW 90 DEG Elbow Schedule 80
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.
BW 90 deg elbow is formed by hot forming and connects steel pipes or other pipe fittings through butt welding process. Its function is to change the direction of the fluid by 90 degrees, so it is also called vertical elbow.Schedule (SCH) 80 is represents one commonly used of the thickness of the welded fittings.
The end of Butt welded fittings are connected to the pipe system by butt welding.Butt weld fittings provide permanent leak-proof performance.BW fittings could made from seamless or welded pipe,and then through several processes formed to get the shape of pipe fittings.
There are two types of butt welded elbow:Long Radius(LR) and Short Radius(SR).
Long Radius Elbow
Long radius elbow refers to the pipe outer diameter with radius of curvature equal to 1.5 times, i.e R = 1.5D.
Short Radius Elbow
Short radius elbow means that its radius of curvature is equal to the outer diameter of the tube, i.e R = 1.0D.
