The stainless steel elbow is butt-welding fittings, the main function of elbow is to change the flow direction in a piping system. The standard angles of stainless steel elbows are 90°, 45°, and 180°, so they are named 90° elbows, 45° elbows and 180° elbows, 90° elbows and 180° elbows are also named 90° bends and 180° bends.
Both 90° elbows and 180° Elbows are available as both long radius and short radius, while 45° elbows are only available as long radius. ‘Long Radius’ means that the center-to-end dimension is one and a half times the nominal pipe size, namely R=1.5D. ‘Short Radius’ means that the center-to-end dimension is equal to the nominal pipe size, namely R=D.

90 degree steel pipe elbow
90 degree steel pipe elbow is to change fluid direction by 90 degree, also called the vertical elbow, it is the most used type in all the pipeline systems, since it is easy to compatible with the steel construction and structural.
• 90 degree elbow of long radius
This kind of 90 degree steel pipe elbow is installed between different lengths of pipe or tubing.
It helps to change the direction at an angle of 90 degrees. It’s often used for connection of hoses to water pumps, deck drains, and valves.
• 90 degree elbow of short radius
The main use is just like the previously stated pipe, but the diameter is short. So this kind of piping elbow is often used when shortage of space.
45 degree steel pipe elbow
45 degree elbow is to change pipe direction by 45 degree, it is second common used type in industrial pipelines.
• 45 degree LR steel elbow
This kind of elbow is installed between two pipes so that the direction could be changed at an angle of 45 degrees. Since it creates lower frictional resistance, pressure also be lower.
• 45 degree SR elbow
This kind of elbow is usually attached to copper, plastic, steel, cast iron, and lead. It could also be attached to clamps of stainless steel and rubber. As a result, it’s widely used in chemical, food, facilities of water supply, electronic industrial and chemical pipelines, gardening and agriculture production, piping for solar power facilities, and pipelines for air conditioning.
180 degree steel elbow
This kind of elbow helps to change the direction at an angle of 180 degrees. Since it usually results in low pressure, its applications is limited to minimum deposition and low turbulence systems.
We have an extensive inventory of finished and half-finished stainless steel elbows, caps, tees, reducers, crosses, stub ends and many other stainless steel butt welding fittings, which are widely used in power plant, oil & gas, water treatment, food processing, petrochemical, LNG industries, automobile, heavy engineering, offshore and chemical. Butt Weld Fittings can be supplied by us as stand-alone orders or together with our other piping products.
