Our Reducing Elbow 90 Degree fittings meet stringent global standards, including ASTM and ASME, and are crafted with high-quality stainless steel, mild steel, or brass. Suited for both industrial and plumbing needs, they offer robust performance under pressures up to 40 bar and temperatures from -20C to +180C.
Available in multiple sizes and finishes, these elbows are offered with various end and connection types, making installation straightforward, whether welded or threaded. Each part is thoroughly leak-tested and packed securely to ensure its integrity upon arrival.
FAQ's of Reducing Elbow 90 degree:
Q: How is the Reducing Elbow 90 Degree installed?
A: The elbow can be installed manually or using automated systems, with options for butt weld, socket weld, or threaded connections. Installation method depends on pipe material, system requirements, and selected end type (plain, beveled, threaded).
Q: What types of media can pass through these elbows safely?
A: These fittings are suitable for a wide range of fluids, including water, oil, air, steam, and various chemicals, making them ideal for plumbing, industrial piping, and gas fitting applications.
Q: When should a reducing elbow be used rather than a standard elbow?
A: Use a reducing elbow when both a 90-degree direction change and a transition between two pipe diameters are needed, streamlining the system and minimizing the need for additional fittings.
Q: Where are these reducing elbows commonly used?
A: They are extensively used in oil & gas, chemical processing, water supply, power plants, and general industrial piping where flow redirection and pipe size change are required together.
Q: What are the benefits of choosing stainless steel or coated variants?
A: Stainless steel elbows provide excellent corrosion resistance and longevity, while galvanized, powder-coated, or epoxy-coated variants offer additional protection against harsh environments, extending service life.
Q: What quality and safety standards do these fittings comply with?
A: The reducing elbows conform to international standards such as ASTM A234, ASME B16.9, DIN, and JIS. They meet RoHS, ISO 9001:2015 requirements, and, where relevant, fire safety standards like ASTM F409.
Q: How is product integrity and reliability ensured before shipping?
A: Each fitting undergoes leakage testing at 1.5 times the rated pressure and thorough quality checks for dimensions and surface finish. Products are securely packed in boxes or wooden crates for safe transportation.
