Stainless Steel Gas Pipe Elbow Fitting Available Sizes

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

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.

What is a Butt weld TEE and what about its difference between reducing tee .

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.

BW elbow is the most used elbows in all the type of elbows.There are types of elbows:BW (butt welded),SW (socket welded) and THD (threaded).Alloy steel pipe fittings are popular because the material is similar to carbon steel and its material can satisfy different demands.

90 deg SR (short radius) elbow is a type of BW elbows,90 degree elbow also has LR (long radius) type.Shanghai Zhucheng has expericenced pipe fittings factory which can provide high quality pipe fittings and forged flanges.

Elows’ standard and its wall thickness

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 means that its radius of curvature is equal to the outer diameter of the tube, i.e R = 1.0D

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.

Take carbon steel buttweld fittings into a bath of molten zinc. That would get more zinc and make the price is high. We surfaced carbon steel forged fittings with electrogalvanizing because it is pretty and low cost.

What is a 90 DEGREE LR ELBOW and what about its specification and advantages.

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 .

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.

BW cap is used to close the pipe system,the function is similar to plug.A234 WPB is a commonly used grade for carbon steel in American Standard.SCH 40S is represents a wall thickness of butt welded fittings.The commonly used wall thicknesses for BW fittings are SCH 40,SCH 80.

Steel Pipe Elbow is the most common pipe fitting that changes the direction of the pipeline. It plays a important role in the piping system.

BW equal tee is a commonly used tee in many applications.There is also reducing tees to choose.These tees have same functions,the only difference is the reducing tees can reduce the flow in the pipe system.There are the tee specifications in content below.

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

90 degree elbow’s usage and its specification

What is a straight and reducing tee and Dimensions and Standards

What is a 90° pipe elbow and what its application

The surface quality and mechanical properties of the elbow are almost the same as the pipe’s. To facilitate welding, the long radius elbow should be made of the same kind material of the pipe to be connected.

Stainless steel BW tees are always used in many corrosive environments because of the corrosion resistance of stainless steel.ASTM A182 F316 is a commonly used grade for stainless steel.Stainless steel pipe fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

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.

ASME B 16.9 lateral tee is one special type of BW tees.It has similar functions to the normal tee,the only difference is the lareral tee can change the direction in 45 degree while the normal one changes in 90 degree.
