1. What Is a Pipe Elbow?

In a pipeline system, a pipe elbow is a fitting that changes the direction of the pipeline. Other common names include 90-Degree Elbows and Right-Angle Elbows. The most common angles are:

45 Degrees

90 Degrees

180 Degrees

Pipe elbows of three kinds of different angles can readily distinguished based on their varying angles and appearance.

Tips: two 45 degree elbows should not be used as a substitute for a 90 degree elbow because they have essential differences.

Besides, other angles can be specially custom-made based on the customer's engineering requirements.

2. What Is a Stainless Steel Elbow?

Stainless steel has the best hardness and toughness index of all steels. Because stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, you don't need to use a protective coating like carbon steel pipe when using stainless steel elbows because they have a chemical composition that offers improved resistance to rust and corrosion, ensuring a longer service life. Also, since the super hardness of stainless steel elbows faces external impact, they do not easily leak water and are broken.

Stainless Steel Elbow Types

Stainless steel elbows can also be categorized based on manufacturing standards and production methods:

By Manufacturing Standard:

  - Ship Standard Elbows

  - Electric Standard Elbows

  - Water Standard Elbows

  - American Standard Elbows

  - German Standard Elbows

  - Japanese Standard Elbows

  - Russian Standard Elbows

By Production Method:

  - Pushing Elbows

  - Pressing Elbows

  - Forging Elbows

  - Casting Elbows

3. What Is a Threaded Pipe Elbow?

A threaded pipe elbow (or threaded elbow or threaded pipe bend) is a type of pipe fitting character by female threads on the two ends. During practical use, a threaded elbow connects two male pipes and changes the direction and angle of the piping system. 

Similar to standard elbows, they are available in various angles, usually 45 and 90 degrees, and can be offered elbow at 60 degrees, etc. We can supply sizes ranging from 1/8 inch to 4 inches at present.

Characteristics of Threaded Elbows:

- Composed of a screw port and a bent section

- Features a threaded groove on the screw port

- Pressure ratings typically range from LB, LB, to LB

Manufacturing Standards:

Threaded elbows are manufactured typically in compliance with industry standards like ASME B16.11 and BS .

4. What Is a Stainless Steel Threaded Elbow?

Stainless steel threaded elbows using premium stainless steel grades like 304, 304L, 316, and 316L. They come with internal or external threaded ports, enhancing compatibility with various pipeline systems.

Common Types of Stainless Steel Threaded Elbows:

- 45-Degree Elbows

- 90-Degree Elbows

- Female Elbows

- Male-Female Elbows (Street Elbows)
