Elbow Fitting

One of the most commonly used fittings in piping is، the elbow. This fitting connects two pipes with the same or different diameters, creating a 45 or 90-degree angle in the pipe path,، thus changing the direction of fluid flow. When the pipe diameters are the same, a regular elbow is used, and when the diameters are different, a reducing elbow is used. This type of fitting is used for connecting pipes in systems such as piping networks (in industries like petrochemical, oil and gas, water, and wastewater).

 

Types of Elbows Based on Angle of Change:

1. 45-degree elbow
2. 90-degree elbow
3. 60-degree elbow
4. 120-degree elbow
5. 180-degree elbow

 

Types of Elbows Based on Connection Method:

 

Reducing elbow

Butt-weld elbow

Socket-weld elbow
