Product Description
- Socket weld elbows have sockets on both ends, allowing them to be inserted into socket weld fittings and welded in place.
- They are used in high-pressure piping systems.
- Socket welds create sealed, leak-proof, high pressure pipeline configurations for the transporting of liquids or gases.
- Unlike butt welding, socket welds don't require any pre-weld machining, although the pipe ends should be clean in order to assure the integrity of the weld.
Superior Corrosion Resistance & Long-Term DurabilityThis 90 degree socket weld elbow boasts excellent corrosion resistance due to its stainless steel construction and polished surface treatment. Designed for use in harsh environments such as oil and gas, chemical, and power plant settings, it offers reliable performance and longevity, reducing the frequency of replacements and maintenance costs.
Precision Forging & Quality AssuranceManufactured through a rigorous forging process, each elbow fitting adheres to strict ASTM and ASME standards. The high tensile and yield strengths, along with a tight tolerance of 0.03 mm, ensure dependable operation even under demanding pressures, providing peace of mind for engineers and installers alike.
Effortless Installation & Flexible SizingThe socket weld design makes installation straightforward and secure for professionals working with pipe connections. With outer diameters ranging from 1/2 inch to 4 inch, the elbow fitting is versatile enough to suit a wide variety of piping systems, offering convenience and adaptability during setup.
