Overview

The 90° butt-weld elbow is the workhorse of every process line. We form it from seamless tube by cold or hot stamping so there is no circumferential weld in the body, then machine the ends to a B16.25 bevel that matches the pipe wall.

Forming

Cold forming for DN15–DN100 gives tight ovality (≤1%) and a clean bore; hot forming is used above DN100 where wall thickness and diameter make cold work impractical.

Long radius (R=1.5D) is standard for lower pressure drop; short radius (R=1D) is available where space is tight.

End preparation

Bevel angle, root face and bore diameter are machined to match the ordered pipe schedule, so the fitter is not grinding a step at the joint.

Ends can be supplied plain for socket or clamp connections on request.

Inspection

Dimensional check of centre-to-face, angle, ovality and wall thickness on every lot.

RT or UT and 1.5× hydrostatic test can be specified and witnessed.

Materials

  • Austenitic stainless (304/316L, 321, 310S, 904L)
  • Duplex (2205, 2507)
  • Nickel alloys (C-276, 625, 800H/HT, 400)
  • Carbon and alloy steel (A234 WPB, WP11, WP22)

Applications

Process piping headersSteam and utility linesDesalination and seawater systemsFood and pharmaceutical lines (with Ra-controlled bore)
Every shipment can be supplied with an EN 10204 3.1 mill certificate, dimensional report and PMI report. Third-party inspection at SGS, BV or TUV can be arranged on request.
