The role of elbow fittings in piping

Elbows in pipe fittings are mainly used to change the direction of pipe fittings. Elbow according to the Angle, there are 45° and 90°180° three commonly used, in addition, according to the needs of the project also includes 60° and other abnormal Angle elbow.

Elbow materials are stainless steel, alloy steel, malleable cast iron, carbon steel, non-ferrous metals and plastics.

When the elbow changes the direction of the pipeline, it is connected with the pipe in the following ways: direct welding (commonly used) flange connection, hot melt connection, electric melt connection, thread connection and socket connection. According to the production process can be divided into: welding elbow, push elbow, stamping elbow, casting elbow, butt welding elbow and so on.

The purpose of the elbow is to connect two nominal diameter of the same or different pipe, is the pipe to do a certain Angle turn.

A bend whose radius is less than 1.5 times the diameter of the pipe belongs to an elbow; a bend whose radius is greater than 1.5 times the diameter of the pipe belongs to a bend.

The elbow produced by the company can change the direction of the pipeline, but also can be used in many industries.
