Steel pipe bends (sometimes also called elbows) are key components in pressure pipe systems

Steel pipe bends (sometimes also called elbows) are key components in pressure pipeline systems used to change the direction of fluid flow. They are used to connect two pipes with the same or different nominal diameters, and to change the direction of the pipes and fluid flow by 45 or 90 degrees. This change in the direction of fluid flow increases the pressure loss in the system due to impact, friction, and reacceleration.

Socket welding is a welding method where a pipe is welded into a valve body.

Butt welding is a process where two parts are fixed together after spot welding. This process requires a higher level of skill from the welder, as butt welding requires 100% radiographic inspection under strict working conditions. Butt welding connections are commonly used in the chemical, petroleum, power, natural gas, and steel industries.

What is an elbow? Introduction to carbon steel elbow fittings

What is an elbow? Carbon steel elbow pipe fittings are used at the elbow of the pipe. It connects two pipes with the same nominal diameter, turning in the pipe. Elbows are classified into 90° elbows, right-angle elbows, S-shaped elbows, stamped elbows, pressed elbows, machined elbows, welded elbows, etc., by type. By material, they are divided into carbon steel elbows, cast steel elbows, alloy steel elbows, stainless steel elbows, copper elbows, aluminum alloy elbows, etc.

Which flanges are used in the petrochemical industry?

In many applications, engineers need to find a way to close a chamber or cylinder in a very safe manner, usually because the substance inside must be different in composition or pressure from the substance outside.

Introduction to carbon steel elbow fittings

The use of 90-degree elbows: to connect two pipes with the same or different nominal diameters, allowing the pipes to bend at 90°, 45°, 180°, and various other angles.
