A Short Article on Elbow as Pipe Fitting Professional
1 year ago - Multimedia - Salem - 164 viewsThe 180 Degree Elbows are used for connecting pipes of different diameters and find wide applications in various chemicals, construction industries, paper, cement & shipbuilders.
We have adopted advanced production equipment to make our 180-degree Long Radius Elbow(1D D711.2~D1219.2), which can not only improve product quality but also save raw materials. An elbow is a pipe fitting installed between two lengths of pipe or tubing to allow a change of direction, usually a 180° or 90° angle, though 45° elbows are also made. The ends may be machined for butt welding (SW) or socketed welding(SW) etc. Most elbows are available in short radius or long radius variants. When the two ends differ in size, the fitting is called a reducing elbow or reducer elbow.
Elbows are categorized based on various design features as below:
Long Radius (LR) Elbow is also called LR elbow – which means the radius is 1.5 times the pipe diameter
L/R 180°Elbow: Long Radius 180 degree return bend allows complete reversal of flow.
Short Radius (SR) Elbow is also called SR elbow, – means the radius is 1.0 times the pipe diameter
Short radius 180° Elbow: Short Radius 180° return bend allows complete reversal of flow
Butt Weld fitting Tee
Tees straight and reducing
The primary purpose of a Tee is to make a 90° branch from the main run of pipe. Standard, there are 2 possibilities, on behalf of the equal tee and reducing tee. The equal tee (or straight tee) is used as the branch has the same diameter as the run-pipe. The reducing tee is used as the branch has a smaller diameter than the run-pipe.
