What is the difference between carbon steel elbow and carbon steel elbow  

Carbon steel elbow and carbon steel elbow are pipe fittings that change the direction of pipeline flow.  The carbon steel elbow is only at the bending part of the pipe;  In addition to the bending part, carbon steel elbow also includes a straight pipe at both ends, and also refers to a processing method.

 Carbon steel elbow is a common connection pipe fittings in pipeline installation. It connects two pipes with the same or different nominal diameters to make the pipe turn at a certain Angle.  Carbon steel elbow can be classified according to the production process, bending degree, material, connection mode and so on.  For example, the same carbon steel elbow can be cast steel elbow, 90° elbow, stainless steel elbow, threaded elbow, etc.

 Carbon steel elbow refers not only to connecting pipe fittings, but also to a processing method.  Carbon steel bending is to bend straight pipe through machining means to change the direction of pipeline flow.  The manufacturing process and the finished product are called bends.  Carbon steel bend is made of straight pipe, so there is the problem of uneven thickness.  But the bends can be made on site as required and can be made at special angles.

 The bending radius of carbon steel elbow is usually larger than the elbow.  Carbon steel elbows usually have greater mechanical strength per unit area than bends.  In use can be selected according to need.  For example, to deal with the erosion of pipe fluid on the bend, you can choose thick wall elbow to achieve the purpose of erosion resistance;  Large radius pipe bending can also be used to reduce (disperse) scouring force.

 The difference between carbon steel elbow and carbon steel elbow is mainly in use.  The carbon steel elbow fittings and carbon steel elbow fittings produced by our company are directly welded in the pipeline.
