A234 WPB BW Reducer Carbon Steel Pipe Fittings

BW elbows are belong to butt welded fittings,wall thickness of BW fittings decided the pressure that the fittings can resistance.Wall thickness SCH 40 is a commonly used wall thickness in butt welded fittings.

What is the use of Weldolet?

Butt welded fittings,can be abridged as BW fittings.Butt welded means the pipe fittings used welded connection to connect with pipes.BW fittings including Elbow, Tee, Cross, Bend, Reducer, Cap, Stub End.Carbon steel always be the material of these fittings as carbon steel has great functions and affordable price.

A234 WPB/WPC BW concentric reducers are carbon steel butt welded fittings,among these,A234 WPB is more chosen in many industries.BW reducers can be concentric (COC) reducer and eccentric (ECC) reducer.These reducers have same functions,the only difference is the internal structure.

Welded steel pipes are popular because of the strong and permanent connection,the ends of the pipes can welded with flanges.Slip on (SO) flange can slip on the pipe,and then welded on the pipes.

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.

The elbow radius mean curvature radius. If the radius is the same as pipe diameter, it called short radius elbow, also called SR elbow, normally for low pressure and low speed pipelines. If the radius is larger than pipe diameter, R ≥ 1.5 Diameter, then we call it a long radius elbow (LR Elbow), applied for high pressure and high flow rate pipelines.

Concentric reducers are perfectly suitable to use in the exclusion of the pump. It is cone-shaped, and is used when there is a shift in diameter between pipes. A pipe reducer is available in various specifications, such as a single diameter change and also in a multiple diameter change.

Concentric reducers are easy to transport mud and grinding fluid and are suitable for corrosive operations , It will change kindly between the pump and piping.

LR 90 degree steel pipe elbow are installed between different lengths pipe or tubing. It helps to change direction at 90 degree, and is commonly used to connect hoses to pumps, deck drains and valve.

Concentric reducer is used to join pipe sections or tube sections on the same axis. It is cone-shaped, and is used when there is a shift in diameter between pipes. 

When the direction change angle of the single section of the miter elbow is greater than 45, it should not be used in the pipeline with toxic and combustible media, or in the pipeline subject to vibration, pressure pulsation and alternating load due to temperature change

Pipe crossing is used where four pipes intersect. The cross pipe may have one inlet and three outlets, or three inlets and one outlet. The diameter of the outlet and inlet can be the same or different.

Elbow is a pipe fitting that changes the direction of piping. According to the Angle, there are 45° and 90°180° three most commonly used. Elbow material can be divided into carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless-steel.

ASME B 16.9 tee is BW (butt welded) tee belong to butt welded fittings.These tees can bu equal type or reducing type.Normal tees can change the direction of the pipe system of 90 deg.And tees also have lateral tees to change the direction of 45 deg.

Carbon steel tee is the most used type in all tees because carbon steel has great functions and affordable price.Galvanized pipe fittings has better anti-corrosive function than normal carbon steel pipe fittings,galvanized fittings have similar functions as stainless steel fittings,but the price is cheaper than stainless steel fittings.

LR 90 degree steel pipe elbow are installed between different lengths pipe or tubing, It helps to change direction at 90 degree.

The pipes cannot appreciate because of what the external arrangement of the pipe reducer seems but the flow of the pipe is changed by the internal width conical transition arrangement. It can be axially shifted and externally reconfigured to offer more efficient reducer connection. Concentric reducers facilitate the delivery of mud and abrasive fluids and are suitable for corrosive operations and where different ratings and wear protection are required between flanges.

Concentric reducer in a pipe system, its making process and its difference between a eccentric reducer.

Stainless steel BW tees are always used in many corrosive environments because of the corrosion resistance of stainless steel.ASTM A182 F316 is a commonly used grade for stainless steel.Stainless steel pipe fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

Concentric reducers are tapered and are used when the diameter between pipes changes. It can be axially shifted and externally reconfigured to offer more efficient reducer connection.

classification,dimension of lateral tee,and its difference from a WYE.

BW cap is used to close the pipe system,the function is similar to plug.A234 WPB is a commonly used grade for carbon steel in American Standard.SCH 40S is represents a wall thickness of butt welded fittings.The commonly used wall thicknesses for BW fittings are SCH 40,SCH 80.

Difference between a pipe elbow and a pipe bend is as follows:

BW elbow is the most used elbows in all the type of elbows.There are types of elbows:BW (butt welded),SW (socket welded) and THD (threaded).Alloy steel pipe fittings are popular because the material is similar to carbon steel and its material can satisfy different demands.

BW reducers have two types:Concentric Reducer and Eccentric Reducer.These two types can meet different demand.This is stainless steel BW COC reducer in the picture.Stainlee steel is better in corrosion resistance,so the used years will be longer than other matercial.
