Steel Pipe Elbow

Elbows are split into two groups which define the distance over which the flowing fluid change direction; the center line of one end to the opposite face. This is known as the “Center to Face” distance and is equivalent to the radius through which the elbow is bent.

If the radius is the same as pipe diameter (Center-to-Face dimension of 1.0 X diameter ), it called Short Radius Elbow (SR elbow) used normally for low pressure and low speed pipelines or in tight areas where clearance is the main issue. If the radius is larger than pipe diameter (Center-to-Face dimension of 1.5 X diameter) then we call it a Long Radius Elbow (LR Elbow) used for high pressure and high flow rate pipelines.

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.

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.

These types of tube fittings like male elbows and female elbows have been specifically designed for use on instrumentation, process and control systems and equipment employed in chemical, petroleum, fluid power, electronic and pulp and paper plants.

Carbon Steel Pipe Fittings Elbow is a most common type of CS fitting used to join pipe or tubing to allow a change of direction, usually a 90° or 45° angle, Elbows ends may be machined for butt welding , threaded , or socketed

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.

Pipe elbows are fitting accessories which are used widely in various industrial sectors in pipe fitting. A pipe elbow is frequently used in pressurized applications and are available in various shapes and sizes for use in different applications. A pipe elbow is a fitting installed between two lengths of pipe or tube allowing a change of direction, usually in the 90° or 45° direction.

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.

Steel pipe elbow is a key parts in a piping system for to change the fluid flow direction. It is used to connect two pipes with same or different nominal diameters, and to make the pipe turn to a certain direction of 45 degree or 90 degree.

Elbow could be ranged from direction angle, connection types, length and radius, material types. As we know, according to fluid direction of the pipelines, elbow can be divided into different degrees, such as 45 degree, 90 degree,180 degree, which are most common degrees. Also there has 60 degree and 120 degree, for some special pipelines.

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

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.

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 are mainly used for elbow with higher pressure and temperature than other connection types. According to the valve body material, it has stainless steel, carbon steel and alloy steel elbow

Pipe Elbow is installed between two long pipes for changing the direction of the flow of liquid or fluid. These are commonly available in two types; 90 degrees and 45 degrees. Its function is to change the direction of the fluid by 90 degrees, so it is also called vertical elbow.

Long radius elbow refers to the pipe outer diameter with radius of curvature equal to 1.5 times, i.e R = 1.5D. Its function is to change the direction of the fluid by 90 degrees, so it is also called vertical elbow.

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

Carbon steel elbow is a weldable & threaded pipe fitting that allows for change of flow direction, we manufactured them as standard of ASME B16.9 and B16.11. ASTM A234 WPB Elbow is the common used in the oil and gas industires.

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.

Clean the steel pipe elbow body and wrap the polyethylene tape on it with adhesive. Usually the thickness of coating is 2mm. They are used in the underground pipeline system. Long radius elbow refers to the pipe outer diameter with radius of curvature equal to 1.5 times, i.e R = 1.5D.

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.

BW reducer and elbow both commonly used pipe fittings used welding type to connect with pipes and transport flow in piping system.ASME B16.9 fittings are butt welded fittings according to American Standard.

ASME B16.9 BW 90 elbow is pipe fitting manufactured according to American Standard.ASME B16.9 is American Standard of butt welded fittings.There is BW elbow in the picture,you could find the specification and dimensions below.

BW 90 elbow is the most used degree,there is also 45 deg elbow to choose.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.ASME B16.9 is American Standard of butt welded fittings.

Carbon steel elbow is the most used material in elbows.Carbon steel fittings are used in many applications because of its great excellent functions.ASME B16.9 is represents the American Standard of butt fittings.The end of Butt welded fittings are connected to the pipe system by butt welding.

316L 90 deg elbow is a stainless steel pipe fitting which can used in chemical environment because of its an-ti corrosive function.SCH 10S is repersents to the wall thickness in butt welded fittings. Commonly used wall thickness is SCH 40 and SCH 80.Stainless steel pipe fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

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.
