Description

A 90 degree elbow is a type of pipe fitting used to connect two sections of piping at a 90 degree angle. The elbow is bent at a 90 degree angle, allowing it to change the direction of the pipe by 90 degrees. The ends of the elbow are designed to be welded or connected to other pipes or fittings, allowing for a continuous pipeline.

90 degree elbows are commonly used in piping systems where there is a need to change the direction of the flow of fluid or gas. They are often used in applications where space is limited or where a sharp change in direction is needed, such as in HVAC systems, water treatment plants, and industrial processes.

90 degree elbows are available in a range of materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, and various alloys, and they can be found in a range of sizes and thicknesses to suit different applications. The material and size of the 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.

In addition to standard 90 degree elbows, there are also various specialized types of elbows available, such as long radius elbows, which have a larger radius for use in systems with high flow rates, and short radius elbows, which have a smaller radius for use in tight spaces.
