Description

A 45 degree jacketed elbow is a type of pipe fitting used in process piping systems where a fluid or gas needs to be heated or cooled. It is essentially a standard 45 degree elbow that has been modified to include a jacket or outer shell that allows a heating or cooling medium to flow around the outside of the elbow.

The jacketed elbow is typically used in applications where the fluid or gas being transported must be kept at a specific temperature or within a certain temperature range. The jacket around the elbow allows a heating or cooling medium, such as steam, hot water, or a refrigerant, to be circulated around the outside of the elbow, providing a method for controlling the temperature of the fluid or gas inside the pipe.

Jacketed elbows are commonly used in industries such as chemical processing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemicals, among others. They are available in a range of materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, and various alloys, and can be found in a range of sizes and thicknesses to suit different applications. The material and size of the jacketed elbow must be selected based on the specific requirements of the system, including the temperature and pressure of the fluid or gas being transported, as well as the environmental conditions in which the system operates.
