Steel Pipe Bend Butt Welded Fittings

45 deg elbow is a type of elbows.These elbows have similar functions to 90 degree elbow,the only difference is the 90 degree elbow can changes the direction in 90 deg while the 45 degree elbow can changes in 45deg.Shanghai Zhucheng is an excellent stainless steel pipe fittings supplier who supplys high quality pipe fittings and flanges for years.

It can have concentric reducer and eccentric reducer. It is widely used in pipeline installation projects, such as when the diameter of the pipeline needs to be changed at the inlet and outlet of the pump

Alloy steel butt-weld pipe caps are mainly used to close pipeline systems to ensure that the fluid in the pipeline will not leak.It is usually welded at the end of the pipeline to provide a reliable sealing effect.

Steel bend is almost same as pipe elbow. It’s radius is bigger and extensive used in oil and gas, engineering and construction industry.

45 deg elbow can be butt welded elbow and forged elbow.Forged elbows are including SW (socket weld) elbow and THD (threaded) elbow.Stainless steel pipe fittings are popuar because stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance,stainless steel has using age over 50 years,so the material is more expensive than other materials.

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

Carbon steel elbow dimensions are different depend on the type of the elbow.BW elbows can be 1/2″-80″;SW elbow and THD elbow can be 1/8″-4″.Elbows can be made from carbon steel,alloy steel and stainless steel.Shanghai Zhucheng is an experienced pipe fittings manufacturer for many years.

The elbow radius mean curvature radius. If the radius is the same as pipe diameter, it called short radius elbow, also called SR elbow, normally for low pressure and low speed pipelines. If the radius is larger than pipe diameter, R ≥ 1.5 Diameter, then we call it a long radius elbow (LR Elbow), applied for high pressure and high flow rate pipelines.

12 IN Carbon Steel Elbow is an important pipe fitting in piping system as it can change the direction of the pipes in 90 degree.ASTM A234 WPB is a commonly used grade for carbon steel in American Standard.

The function of an elbow and What is the difference between LR and SR elbow?

It can be axially shifted and externally reconfigured to offer more efficient reducer connection. 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.

What is a pipe Tee,its specification and importance.

Fittings that change direction in a piping system are called elbows which available in 90 degree and 45 degree long radius elbow. Both of them has the center line at 1.5 x NPS from elbow end.

Reducing tee is a commonly used fittings to branch the pipes and reduce the flow in the piping systems.Large dimension is for butt welded fittings.ASME B16.9 pipe fittings are BW fittings according to American Standard,the size range for the ASME B16.9 fittings is 1/2″-80″.

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.

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.

According to fluid flow direction of the pipes, elbows can be divided into different degrees, such as 45 degree, 90 degree, 180 degree, which are most common elbows. Also there are 60 degree and 120 degree elbows for some special pipelines. This degree is just an representation of the angle by which the fluid flow is going to change after flowing through the said elbow.

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.

Concentric reducer consists of the symmetrical and conical shaped fittings that enlarge or reduce the diameter equally about the center line.

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.ASME B16.9 is American Standard for butt welded fittings.

ASME B16.9 elbow means BW elbow.ASME B16.9 is an American Standard for Butt welded fittings,A234 WP22 is represnets BW Alloy pipe fittings. Elbows can be 90 deg and 45 deg to change the pipes in 90 degree or 45 degree.Sometimes the elbows can be 180 deg to satisfy the clinet’s demands.

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.

BW 90 degree elbow is the most used elbow in all types of elbows.BW fittings are popular because it can achieve strong and permanent connection.Stainless pipe fittings are famous for the excellent anti-corrosive function.Shanghai Zhucheng can supply many kinds of pipe fittings made from stainless steel.

Stainless elbow is a popular used type of elbow becase the stainless steel has excellent an-ti corrosive function.Shanghai Zhucheng is an excellent butt welded fittings factory who supplys high quality pipe fittings and flanges for years.

Carbon steel elbows are the most commonly used elbows in all the types and material elbows.Large dimensions elbow is butt welded fitting,you can find the butt welded fittings specification below.

When the direction change angle of the single section of the miter elbow is greater than 45, it should not be used in the pipeline with toxic and combustible media, or in the pipeline subject to vibration, pressure pulsation and alternating load due to temperature change
