Stainless Steel A403 Butt Weld 45 Degree Elbow Dimensions

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.

90 deg long radius elbow is a commonly used type in elbows.There are aslo 90 degree short radius elbow and 45 degree elbow.Stainless steel pipe fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

BW (butt welded) reducer have two types:Eccentric Reducer and Cocentric Reducer.Reducer only has welded connection.However,swage nipple which belong to forged fittings has same function to reducer.

Classify of elbows and how to sperate it into SR and LR Elbows

45 deg elbow can change the direction of fluids or gas in 45 degree.There is also has 90 deg elbow to be chosen.45 degree elbow has many diffences with 90 degree elbow.All types of elbows can be Equal Tee and Reducing Tee to satisfy different demands.

Stinless steel pipe is always used in many corrosive environments because of the excellent anti-corrosive function,so that the pipes can used for longer years than other materials’ pipes.Shanghai Zhucheng is a superior steel pipe supplier who supplys high quality pipes for years.

Butt weld fittings are manufacture by seamless or welded pipe. For pipe fittings manufacturers, the forming process of welded pipe and seamless pipe is basically same. Butt welded fittings can be divided into carbon steel butt welded fittings and stainless-steel butt-welded fittings

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.

304/316L BW tees are the most used tees in stainless steel tees.304/316L are the most used grades in American Standard.Tees can be Equal Tees and Reducing Tees.You could find the summary “Equal VS Reducing Tee” in the content below.Stainless steel pipe fittings are populat because of the excellent functions of corrosion resistance.

Equal butt weld elbow is used to change the direction of the flow in piping system.SCH 80 is a commonly used wall thickness for butt welded fittings,the other commonly used wall thickness is SCH 40.

Concentric reducers facilitate the delivery of mud and abrasive fluids and are suitable for corrosive operations and where different ratings and wear protection are required between flanges.

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.

There are 45 ° elbows and 90 ° elbows in common use. Those with a bending radius of about 1.0 times the outer diameter of the pipe are called short radius elbows; The long radius elbow is about 1.5 times the outer diameter of the pipe

90 deg 4D bend is belongs to butt welded fittings.4D means the radius of the bend is 4 times long the dimension of the pipe bend.API A53B is a great of carbon steel materical for pipes and bends in American Standard.

Pipe tees can be two types:Reducing Tee and Equal Tee.Both types of tees can branch the pipes in the piping systems.Schedule 40 is a wall thickness of the butt welded fittings,the commonly used schedules are SCH 40,SCH 80.

Long Radius (LR) Elbow is also called LR elbow – means the radius is 1.5 times the pipe diameter
L/R 45°Elbow: Long radius 45 degree elbow changes the direction by 45 degrees.
L/R 90°Elbow: Long radius 90 degree elbow changes the direction by 90 degrees.
L/R 180°Elbow: Long Radius 180 degree return bend allows complete reversal of flow.

Butt welded tee can be equal type and reducing type.Both types can change the direction of the piping system in 90 deg.In addition,the reducing tees can reduce the flow of the fluids or gas.Shanghai Zhucheng is an excellent pipe fittings manufacturer from China who supply high quality fittings for years.

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.

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.

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.

Difference between a pipe elbow and a pipe bend is as follows:

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.

Lateral tee is a special type of BW tees,it can branch the fluids or gas in 45 deg.Galvanized steel pipe fittings has better anti-corrosive function than normal carbon steel fittings.Galvanized Steel Pipe Fittings have similar corrosion resistance as stainless steel fittings,but more cheaper than stainless steel pipe fittings.
