Carbon Steel Forged Elbows Pipe Fittings
According to its radius of curvature, there are long radius elbow and short radius elbow. Long radius elbow refers to its radius of curvature is equal to 1.5 times the outside diameter of the pipe, that is, R=1.5D; A short radius elbow means that its radius of curvature is equal to the outer diameter of the pipe, that is, R= 1.0d.(D is the diameter of the elbow, and R is the radius of curvature).
Forging steel is a process that creates very strong pipe fittings. Carbon steel is heated to molten temperatures and placed in the dies. The heated steel is then machined into the forged steel pipe fittings.
There are various types of forged pipe fittings, such as Elbow, Cross, Tee, Coupling, Half Coupling, Boss, Cap, Union and Sockolet;
The function of elbow is to change direction or flow in a piping system. There are the 45°, 90° and 180° elbows
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.
According to the production method, it can be divided into pushing, pressing, forging, casting, etc.
According to its radius of curvature, there are long radius elbow and short radius elbow. Long radius elbow refers to its radius of curvature is equal to 1.5 times the outside diameter of the pipe, that is, R=1.5D; A short radius elbow means that its radius of curvature is equal to the outer diameter of the pipe, that is, R= 1.0d.(D is the diameter of the elbow, and R is the radius of curvature).
