China Pipe Elbows Manufacturer
Pipe Elbows
Pipe elbows are indispensable fittings used to change the direction of flow in piping systems. Hebei Longrun Pipeline Group Company provides a wide array of pipe elbows in various materials, sizes, and pressure ratings to accommodate diverse industrial requirements.
Variety of Materials
Carbon Steel: Standard choice for general industrial use, offering strength and cost-efficiency.
Stainless Steel: Ideal for corrosive environments; available in grades such as 304 and 316.
Alloy Steel: Engineered for high-temperature and high-pressure service conditions.
Available Configurations
Our pipe elbows are offered in common angles—45°, 90°, and 180°—as well as custom angles upon request. They come in both long-radius (1.5×D) and short-radius (1×D) versions, where D is the nominal pipe diameter. These options allow engineers to optimize space, pressure drop, and flow characteristics within their piping layouts.
Construction and Standards
Each elbow is manufactured in accordance with industry benchmarks like ASME B16.9 and MSS SP-43. Seamless elbows are created by mandrel bending, yielding a smooth flow path, while welded elbows are formed by butt-welding plate or coil sections. All products undergo heat treatment, dimensional inspection, and non-destructive examinations to verify mechanical properties and structural soundness.
End Connections
Butt-Weld: Provides a continuous flow path with minimal pressure loss; commonly used in high-pressure systems.
Socket-Weld: Suitable for small diameters; offers ease of assembly and leak-tight performance.
Flanged: Facilitates easy installation and removal for maintenance or system reconfiguration.
Typical Uses
Pipe elbows serve critical roles in industries such as:
Refining & Petrochemical: Routing hydrocarbon streams safely.
HVAC: Directing chilled water and refrigerant in heating and cooling systems.
Food & Beverage: Ensuring sanitary flow in processing lines when made from stainless steel.
Marine: Guiding seawater intake and discharge in shipboard piping.
By choosing Hebei Longrun Pipeline Group Company, customers benefit from our broad manufacturing capacity, strict quality procedures, and the ability to deliver both standard and bespoke pipe elbows to support varying project scales.
