Elbows: Materials, Types, Applications and Other Considerations

An elbow is a type of pipe fitting made from formed alloy welded pipes, used to change the direction of pipelines. Its essential function makes it one of our top-selling products.

Elbows come in 45°, 90° and 180° angles, depending on their shape. As a critical component for connecting pipelines, the quality of the elbow is crucial.

If you’re purchasing our flanges or custom pipes, our high-quality elbows are the ideal choice to complement your system.

Whatever size at whatever tight tolerance of custom made elbows you demand, SEATHER here is sure to have it!

Manufacturing Process of Elbows

Elbows Standards and Markings

Standards:

We manufacture elbows strictly according to recognised standards:

  • ASTM B366,
  • ASTM B366M,
  • ASTM B462,
  • ASME B16.9,
  • ASME B16.11,
  • MSS SP-25,
  • MSS SP-43,

Markings:

When replacing or checking elbows, it’s essential they have markings. These markings follow a specific sequence: manufacturer logo, ASTM material grade and any special designations.

This guide provides a comprehensive overview of flange design and selecting the right elbow for your piping system. However, due to the vast range of stainless steel and nickel alloy materials available, it’s impossible to cover every detail or configuration here.
