Description

Socket Welding Elbow 45° is a pipe fitting used to change the flow direction of liquid or gas in a piping system. Designed with a 45-degree angle, it helps change the flow direction without significantly affecting the pressure or speed of the flow. This type of elbow is usually made from carbon steel, stainless steel, or other alloys to ensure durability and corrosion resistance.

Applications

• Oil and gas industry : Used in oil and gas pipeline systems.
• Chemical industry : Used in chemical plants to transport corrosive liquids and gases.
• Refineries : Used in crude oil refining and transportation systems.
• Energy industry : Used in thermal and hydroelectric power plants to conduct water or steam.
• Construction and water supply and drainage : Used in water supply and drainage systems for civil and industrial works.

Standards

Socket Welding Elbow 45° usually complies with international standards to ensure quality and safety in use. Socket Welding Elbow 45° needs to comply with specifications such as inside diameter, length, bend radius, and other parameters according to ASME B16.11 standard. 

• Nominal Size (NPS) : 1/8 to 4 inch.
• Working pressure : 3000#, 6000#, 9000#.
• Materials : Carbon steel, stainless steel, special alloys.

Note:

• NPS (Nominal Pipe Size) : Nominal size of pipe.
• Inside diameter (A) : Inside diameter of the elbow.
• Length (B) : Length of the straight part of the elbow.
• Thickness (C) : Thickness of the pipe wall.
• Radius of bend (R) : Radius of the curved part of the elbow.

For larger sizes from 1/2 inch to 24 inches, we will refer to ASME B16.9 for butt-weld fittings.

Note:

• OD (Outside Diameter) : Outer diameter of the pipe.
• Sch : Pipe Schedule, determines the thickness of the pipe wall.
