Steel Elbow

In pipeline systems, elbows are fittings used to change the direction of the pipeline. Commonly available in 45°, 90°, and 180° angles, other non-standard angles like 60° are also available as per engineering requirements. Elbow materials include cast iron, stainless steel, alloy steel, malleable cast iron, carbon steel, non-ferrous metals, and plastics.

Ways to connect pipes include: direct welding (the most common method), flange connection, hot melt connection, electric melt connection, threaded connection, and socket weld connection, etc. They can be categorized by production process into: welded elbows, pressed elbows, expanded elbows, cast elbows, and double-welded elbows, etc. Other names: 90-degree elbows, right-angle elbows, etc.
