What Is a Pipe Elbow?

An elbow is a kind of pipe fitting introduced between two pipes predominantly to alter the course of direction. These butt weld pipe elbows are ordinarily accessible in 90°, 60°, and 45° edges. Be that as it may, these days, there are numerous different degrees of elbows accessible.

Decreasing elbow, otherwise called reducer elbow, is a sure sort when both the closures of elbow varies in sizes. This is regularly used to associate two distinct sizes of pipe with a noteworthy turn.

Sandco is one of the main wholesalers and manufacturer of butt weld pipe elbows. We offer substantial determination of butt weld pipe fittings, which incorporate welded and also consistent elbows.

You can promptly reach us for a butt weld fitting appropriate from short radius elbows and long radius elbows, to 3D elbows and 5D elbows. You can find elbows up to 48" with fluctuating wall thickness from 1.5 mm to 40 mm.

Types of pipe elbows

1) ANSI/ASME B16.9 90° Long Radius Elbow

ANSI/ASME B16.9 90° Long Radius Elbow is installed between two lengths of tubing (or pipe) to allow a change of direction at 90° angle. Long radius elbow is primarily used to connect hoses to valves, water pumps and deck drains.

2) ANSI/ASME B16.9 90° Short Radius Elbow

The radius of curvature of ANSI/ASME B16.9 90° Short-radius (LR) elbow is 1.0 times the pipe diameter. The short radius elbows are used where there is scarcity of space.

3) ANSI/ASME B16.9 45° Long Radius Elbow

ANSI/ASME B16.9 45° Long Radius Elbow is installed between two lengths of tubing (or pipe) to allow a change of direction at 45° angle. Long radius elbows give less frictional resistance to the fluid & create lesser pressure drop than short radius elbows.

4) ANSI/ASME B16.9 45° short Radius Elbow

A 45º short radius elbow is mainly attached to plastic, copper, cast iron, steel, lead, and can also be attached to rubber with stainless-steel clamps . A 45º elbow used in water-supply facilities, food, chemical and electronic industrial pipeline networks, air-conditioning pipelines, agriculture and garden production, and solar-energy facility piping.

5) ANSI/ASME B16.9 180° Short Radius Elbow

ANSI/ASME B16.9 180° Short Radius Elbow is installed between two lengths of tubing (or pipe) to allow a change of direction at 180° angle. The radius of curvature of ANSI/ASME B16.9 180° Short-radius (LR) elbow is 1.0 times the pipe diameter.

6) ANSI/ASME B16.9 180° Long Radius Elbow

ANSI/ASME B16.9 180° Long Radius Elbow is installed between two lengths of tubing (or pipe) to allow a change of direction at 180° angle. The radius of curvature of ANSI/ASME B16.9 180° long-radius (LR) elbow is 1.5 times the pipe diameter and is used in low-pressure gravity-fed systems and other applications where low turbulence and minimum deposition of entrained solids are of primary concern.

7) ANSI/ASME B16.9 1D Elbow

ANSI/ASME B16.9 1D elbows find their applications in flow lines for gases, fluids in industrial processes, medical, construction, extreme high/low temperature resistance etc.

8) ANSI/ASME B16.9 1.5D Elbow

We provide ANSI/ASME B16.9 1.5D Elbow in various available grades and dimensions at affordable cost with no quality compromise.

9) ANSI/ASME B16.9 3D Pipe Elbow

Sandco Metal Industries is a leading manufacturer of ANSI/ASME B16.9 3D Elbow. Our Buttweld fittings are available in all major grades of stainless steel (304/304L fittings, 316/316L/316Ti fittings, Super Duplex fittings, Duplex fittings, 904L fittings and other steels), carbon steel and alloy steel and are manufactured in accordance to ASME, ISO, EN and DIN standards.

10) ANSI/ASME B16.9 5D Pipe Elbow

5D Pipe Elbow provides a change in material-flow direction which thus adds pressure losses to the system due to, friction, impact and re-acceleration.

11) ANSI/ASME B16.9 Seamless Butt welding 45° and 90° Elbows

Our ANSI/ASME B16.9 Seamless Buttwelding 45° and 90° Elbows find their applications in flow lines for gases, fluids in industrial processes, medical, construction, extreme high/low temperature resistance etc.
