BW Equal Tee Specifications

The long radius is used most commonly, and it is also the default radius. When it is the place with the high pressure or the high flow rate, the long radius elbow is usually used. If the resistance requirements of the solid transmission pipeline are strict, the larger radius elbows will be used.

45 deg elbow has three types:BW,SW,THD.Among these,The commonly used elbows can be 45 deg and 90 deg.BW (butt welded) 90 degree elbows have LR (long radius) and SR (short radius) while 45 degree elbows only have LR type.

Butt Weld Fittings include elbows, tees, cross, caps and reduces. These fittings are the most common type of welded pipe fitting and are specified by nominal pipe size and pipe schedule. Buttweld fittings are manufacture by seamless or welded pipe and are formed to get the shape of elbows, tees and cross etc.

Butt welded reducers can be concentric (COC) reducer and eccentric (ECC) reducer.These reducers have same functions,the only difference is the internal structure.There are the BW fittings specifications in the content below.

45 degree elbow is widely used in chemical industry, food, water supply facilities, electronic industry, chemical pipeline, horticulture, agricultural production, solar equipment pipeline, air conditioning pipeline and other fields.

Steel pipe cap is usually welded onto end of pipe that blcok off the piping line system, it has same funtion with plug and blind flange. It is available in material of carbon steel, stainless steel and alloy steel.

ASME B16.9 butt welded fittings are American Standard BW fittings.COC Reducer means concentric reducer,BW reducers can be concentric (COC) reducer and eccentric (ECC) reducer.These reducers have same functions,the only difference is the internal structure.

Carbon steel elbow dimensions are different depend on the type of the elbow.BW elbows can be 1/2″-80″;SW elbow and THD elbow can be 1/8″-4″.Elbows can be made from carbon steel,alloy steel and stainless steel.Shanghai Zhucheng is an experienced pipe fittings manufacturer for many years.

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.

Steel pipe elbow is a key part in a pressure piping system used to change the fluid flow direction. It is used to connect two pipes with same or different nominal diameters, and to make the pipe and thus the fluid direction turn to a certain direction of 45 degree or 90 degree. This change in fluid flow direction adds pressure losses to the system due to impact, friction and re-acceleration.

Concentric reducer is used to join pipe sections or tube sections on the same axis The length dimension of the reducer is almost equal to the average of the big bore and smaller bore pipe diameters.

Classify of elbows and how to sperate it into SR and LR Elbows

BW carbon steel reducer is the most used type of BW reducers.Butt welded reducer can be concentric (COC) reducer and eccentric (ECC) reducer to meet different demands.SCH 160 fittings are belong to large wall thickness,these fittings can resist high pressure in piping system.

BW elbow can welded with pipes to achieve strong and permanent connection.ASTM A234 WPB pipe fittings are the most popular carbon steel fittings.There is also has A234 WPC for carbon steel fittings.

A234 WPB BW reducer has the most wide ragnge of applications in all types of butt welded reducer, because A234 WPB is the most used grade in carbon steel.Carbon steel pipe fittings are accepted in many projects because these fittings have great functions and reasonable price.

Fittings that change direction in a piping system are called elbows which available in 90 degree and 45 degree long radius elbow. Both of them has the center line at 1.5 x NPS from elbow end.

ASTM A234 specification has many grades, such as WPB, WPC, WP5, WP9 WP11, WP12, WP22, WP91 and so on.
In these standard Grade WPB is the most common material used for medium and high temperature pipelines. W means weldable, P means pressure, B is grade b, refer to the minimum yield strength.

Equal BW tee is a commonly used fittings in butt welded fittings.ASTM A234 WPB WPC are both grades for carbon steel fittings.Pipe tees can be equal tee and reducing tee.These tees have same functions,the only difference is reducing tee can reduce the flow in piping system.

180 deg BW elbow can change the direction of fluids or gas in 1800 degree.Butt welded elbows can also be 90 deg and 45 deg.90 deg elbow and 45 deg elbow are more commonly used than 180 deg elbow.You could find the surmmary ” 45 degree elbow VS 90 degree elbow”.

Reducing tee a one of the type of tees,the other type is equal tee.these two types tees have similar functions,but the reducing tees can reduce the flow.Shanghai Zhucheng is an excellent Pipe fittings manufacturer who supplys high quality fittings for many years.

The two ends of concentric reducer are designed with large diameter and small diameter, and the pipe is connected through conical transition section on the same axis.

Carbon steel tee is the most used tees because of the great material.Shanghai Zhucheng is an excellent pipe fittings supplier who supplys high quality pipe fittings and flanges for years.Carbon steel fittings are used in many applications because of its great excellent functions.

45 deg elbow has three types:BW (butt welded) elbow,SW (socket welded) elbow and THD (threaded) elbow.Elbows can also be 90 degree and 180 degree to meet different demands.Shanghai Zhucheng is an experienced pipe fittings manufacturer who supplys high quality pipe fittings and flanges for many years.

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 reducer and elbow both commonly used pipe fittings used welding type to connect with pipes and transport flow in piping system.ASME B16.9 fittings are butt welded fittings according to American Standard.

Steel pipe elbows have seamless and welded version, normally in 90 degree, 45 degree & 180 degree. Material are carbon steel, alloy steel & stainless steel. BW 90 degree elbow is formed by hot forming and connects steel pipes or other pipe fittings through butt welding process

a pipe bend’s dimension and its difference between an elbow.

BW 3D elbow is belong to Butt welded (BW) elbows.3D means the radius is 3 times of dimensions long.A234 WPB is the most used grade of carbon steel butt welded (BW) fittings according to American Standrad.The degree of the butt welded 3D elbow can be 45 deg, 90 deg and 180 deg.

Steel pipe bend is belong to butt welded fittings,bends have some similar usages as elbows.However,bends can be customized by clients to satisfy different demands.Schedule 80 is represents to the wall thickness of BW fittings.The most used wall thicknesses of butt welded fittings are SCH 40,SCH 80.
