Carbon Steel Butt Welding Pipe Fitting Elbow
1. What Is A Pipe Elbow?
In the pipeline system, the pipe elbow is a pipe fitting that changes the direction of the pipeline. According to the angle, there are three most commonly used ones: 45°, 90°, and 180°. In addition, according to engineering needs, it also includes other abnormal angle elbows such as 60°.
2. What Is A Carbon Steel Elbow?
Carbon steel elbow is a metal pipe fitting that changes the direction of the pipeline on carbon steel pipeline. The connection methods include screw thread and welding. According to the angle, there are three most commonly used elbows: 45 °, 90 °, and 180 °, and other abnormal angle elbows such as 60 ° are also included according to the needs of the project.
Carbon steel elbow, first of all, according to its radius of curvature, can be divided into long radius elbow and short radius elbow. Long radius elbow refers to its radius of curvature equal to 1.5 times the outer diameter of the pipe, that is, R=1.5D. Short radius elbow means that its radius of curvature is equal to the outer diameter of the pipe, that is, R= 1.0D. (D is elbow diameter, R is the radius of curvature.) According to the pressure grade, there are about 17 kinds of pipe standards, which are the same as those in the United States: Sch5s, Sch10s, Sch10, Sch20, Sch30, Sch40s, STD, Sch40, Sch60, Sch80s, XS; Sch80, Sch100, Sch120, Sch140, Sch160, XXS.
3. What Is A Butt Welding Elbow?
The welding elbow is called “shrimp bend”. It can be made into shape by hot push or welding after cutting the material on the pipe or steel plate. Its specifications can be very large.
4. What Is A Carbon Steel Butt Welding Pipe Fitting Elbow?
Carbon steel butt welding pipe fitting elbow is made of carbon steel pipe or carbon steel plate through hot pushing or welding. It is a metal pipe fitting that changes the direction of the pipeline on the carbon steel pipe. The connection method is welding. According to the angle, there are three most commonly used elbows: 45 °, 90 °, and 180 °, and other abnormal angle elbows such as 60 ° are also included according to the needs of the project.
