ELBOW 90DEG

A stainless steel 90-degree elbow is a pipe fitting used to change the direction of flow in a piping system by 90 degrees. Here are the key features and characteristics of a stainless steel 90-degree elbow:

Material:

• Stainless steel 90-degree elbows are typically made from high-quality stainless steel, such as SS304 or SS316. These materials offer excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and strength, making them suitable for various applications, including corrosive environments.

Design:

• The 90-degree elbow has a curved shape that allows it to change the direction of flow in a piping system by 90 degrees. It has female threaded ends or butt weld ends to connect to other pipes or fittings.
• Stainless steel elbows are available in different configurations, including seamless and welded, to suit different applications and preferences.

Types:

• There are two main types of stainless steel 90-degree elbows: threaded elbows and butt weld elbows.
  • Threaded elbows have female threads on both ends, allowing them to be screwed onto male threaded pipes or fittings.
  • Butt weld elbows have ends that are designed to be welded directly to the pipes or fittings, providing a strong and leak-proof connection.

Applications:

• Stainless steel 90-degree elbows are used in various industries and applications where changing the direction of flow in a piping system is required. Some common applications include:
  • Plumbing and water supply systems
  • HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems
  • Food and beverage processing
  • Chemical processing
  • Oil and gas industries
  • Pharmaceutical manufacturing

Advantages:

• Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel elbows offer excellent corrosion resistance, making them suitable for use in corrosive environments.
• Durability: Stainless steel is a durable material that can withstand high temperatures, pressures, and harsh operating conditions.
• Hygienic: Stainless steel is easy to clean and maintain, making it suitable for applications where cleanliness is important, such as in food and beverage processing.
• Versatility: Stainless steel elbows are available in a wide range of sizes, configurations, and pressure ratings to suit various piping system requirements.
