Steel Pipe Elbow

45 degree BW tee’s specification and advantages in pipe system.

What is a threaded elbow,what about its specification and its advantages.

0 degree elbow, also called “90 bends or 90 elbows”, are manufactured as SR (Short Radius) elbows and LR (Long Radius) elbows.

The function of a 45 degree elbow is the same as a 90 degree elbow, but the measurement of dimensions is different to that of the 90 degree elbow.Compared to 90 degree elbow, 45 degree elbow produces less friction, and with the lower pressure.

90 degree steel pipe elbow functioned to change fluid direction by 90 degree, so also named as vertical elbow. A 90 degree elbow 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.

45 ° elbow is also called “45 elbow or 45 ell”, and its bending mode can change the flow direction of fluid / gas in the pipeline by 45 °. The function of a 45 Degree Long Radius Elbow is same as 90 degrees long and short elbow, but the measurement and dimensions are different to that of a 90 degree long and the short elbow.

DN1200 BW elbow is belong to large dimension fittings,these fittings always be butt welded fittings because of the large size.Butt welded fittings used welded type to connect with the pipes to achieve strong and permanent connection.

A 90 degree elbow 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.

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.

DN1400 BW elbow is a very large size in pipe fittings.The size of fittings are important for piping systems.Carbon steel fittings are used in many applications because of its great excellent functions.

SS400 90 DEG elbow is used to transport flow in piping system.Butt welded fittings used welded connection to connect with the pipes to achieve the strong and premanent connection.

DN950 long radius elbow is one type of large dimension elbows,there is also short radius elbow to choose.ASME B16.9 elbow is butt welded elbow according to American Standard.

DN900 LR elbow is large dimension fitting,for the large dimension,the elbows always be butt welded.Wall thickness STD is a commonly used thickness of BW fittings,the other commonly used wall thickness are SCH 40, SCH 80.

Long radius elbow refers to the pipe outer diameter with radius of curvature equal to 1.5 times, i.e R = 1.5D. Most elbows are available in short radius or long radius variants. When the two ends differ in size, the fitting is called a reducing elbow or reducer elbow.

‘The long radius elbow is the elbow which the radius of curvature of is 1.5 times the diameter of the pipe; if the radius of curvature is greater than 1.5 times, the long radius elbow will be called the bend. The short radius elbow means that the radius of curvature of the elbow equals the diameter of the pipe, or 1 time the diameter of the pipe in common words.

The long radius is used most commonly, and it is also the default radius. When it is the place with the high pressure or the high flow rate, the long radius elbow is usually used. If the resistance requirements of the solid transmission pipeline are strict, the larger radius elbows will be used.

An elbow is a pipe fitting installed between two lengths of pipe or tubing to allow a change of direction, usually a 180° or 90° angle, though 45° elbows are also made. The ends may be machined for butt welding (SW) or socketed welding(SW) etc.

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.

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.

Steel pipe elbow is an important parts in plumbing pipeline systems and used to change the fluid directions. It ranges in different types as per body material there are stainless steel elbow, carbon steel elbow, and alloy steel;

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.

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.

10in equal elbow is used to transport flow in piping system.A234 WPB is the most used grade for carbon steel butt welded fittings.Elbows can be 90 degree and 45 degree.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.

Low pressure applications do not require pipes to have high strength since they are not exposed to significant stresses. Narrow wall thickness allows for cheaper manufacture. More specialized applications—such as pipes used in the oil and gas industry—require more stringent specifications.

BW elbow and reducer are both commonly used pipe fittings in piping systems.A234 WPB is the most used grade for carbon steel butt welded fittings.

A234 WPB/WPC BW 90 degree elbows are carbon steel butt welded fittings.Elbows also have 45 degree.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.

ASTM A234 WPB is a common grade for 90 degree long radius elbow, which is one of the highly demanded. They available in a large size and thickness range. They have a good performance and suffices most industrial pipeline needs.

Steel pipe elbow is a key part in a pressure piping system used to change the fluid flow direction. It is used to connect two pipes with same or different nominal diameters, and to make the pipe and thus the fluid direction turn to a certain direction of 45 degree or 90 degree. This change in fluid flow direction adds pressure losses to the system due to impact, friction and re-acceleration.

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.
