Carbon Steel Elbow and ASME B16.9 90DEG LR 1.5D

What is a straight and reducing tee and Dimensions and Standards

Carbon steel pipe fittings are used in many applications because of its great excellent functions.Carbon steel pipe fittings can manufactured as THD (threaded) fittings,SW (socket weld) fittings and (BW) butt welded fittings.The specifications are in the content below.

Carbon steel tee is the most used tees because of the great material.Shanghai Zhucheng is an excellent pipe fittings supplier who supplys high quality pipe fittings and flanges for years.Carbon steel fittings are used in many applications because of its great excellent functions.

Schedule 80 elbow is BW pipe fittings,schedule is also called “SCH”,it is represents the wall thickness of butt welded fittings and steel pipes.The commonly used wall thicknesses: SCH 40,SCH 80.

The radius of both the 45 degree and 90 Degree long and short elbow is the same however, the center to face dimension is not equivalent due to the smaller degree of bend.

BW 90 degree elbow is the most commonly used type of elbows.There is also 45 deg elbow.These elbows have similar functions,the only difference is the 90 degree elbow can changes the direction in 90 deg while the 45 degree elbow can changes in 45deg.You could find the steel pipe elbow specifications in the connent below.

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.

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.

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.

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.

BW tees and reducers are the most used pipe fittings in the piping system.Tees can branch the flow in piping systems.Carbon steel pipe fittings are popular as the great functions and affordable functions.

Steel pipe elbows have seamless and welded version, normally in 90 degree, 45 degree & 180 degree. Material are carbon steel, alloy steel & stainless steel. BW 90 degree elbow is formed by hot forming and connects steel pipes or other pipe fittings through butt welding process

Elows’ standard and its wall thickness

Whatis the difference between concentric and eccentric reducers?

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.SR 90 degree elbow is the same as the pipe elbow mentioned above, but the diameter is shorter. Therefore, this kind of steel elbow is often used when space is not enough.

The two ends of concentric reducer are designed with large diameter and small diameter, and the pipe is connected through conical transition section on the same axis.

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.

Elbow is a fitting device which is bent in such a way to produce 90 degree change in the direction of flow of the content in the pipe.

Concentric reducer’s dimnesions and its usage and advantage

Carbon steel tee is a commonly used tpye of tees.This is butt welded (BW) carbon steel tee in the picture.it can welded with pipes to achieve permanent connection.Equal tee only can change the direction of the pipes while reducing tee can also reduce the flow of the fluids or gas.

ASTM A234WP5 6IN SCH40 90DEGREE ELBOW Fittings 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,

Equal BW tee is a commonly used fittings in butt welded fittings.ASTM A234 WPB WPC are both grades for carbon steel fittings.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.

A pipe tee isuaually used in different industries,petroleum, natural gas, chemical, water and electricity, building and boiler industries.What’s the advantage ,how to choose a suitable tee ?

SSAW steel pipe in the production process, we need to pay attention to a series of matters. Except for the following test items, according to the API standard and other relevant standards and the special requirements of some users, but also the need for steel, steel pipe and other tests Destructive tests, including physical and chemical properties of the raw materials into the plant sampling, visual inspection of 100% steel .

Stainless reducer is a butt welded pipe fitting used to reduce the flow in the pipe systems.Stainless steel pipe fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

Large Size 90 Degree Elbow have an improtant use in piping system to transport flow.Carbon steel elbow is the most used material because of the great functions and affordable price.
