ASME/ANSI B16.9 Elbow LR Matte/Gloss 40 90 180 Deg Carbon/Stainless/Alloy Steel 1/2''-48''

Description:

Elbow LR (Long Radius Elbow) is a piping component with a curved shape, featuring a radius approximately 1.5 times the nominal pipe diameter. This design minimizes fluid turbulence and pressure loss when changing pipe direction. Made from carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel, it withstands high pressure and temperature, suitable for various fluids like gas, steam, and corrosive liquids. Manufactured to standards like ASME B16.9 or API 5L, it ensures precise dimensions and seamless integration into pipelines. The smooth inner surface reduces friction, enhancing flow efficiency, while the robust structure guarantees long-term reliability in industrial systems.

Specifications:

Applications:

Widely used in oil & gas, chemical, power, and water treatment industries, Elbow LR directs fluid flow in pipelines. It fits high-pressure systems (e.g., refineries, offshore platforms) and complex layouts requiring gentle turns. In power plants, it channels steam or water, and in chemical plants, it handles corrosive media with corrosion-resistant materials. Its standardized design suits both new installations and maintenance projects.

Advantages：

Elbow LR offers lower pressure drop and reduced erosion compared to short-radius elbows, extending pipeline lifespan. Its long-radius design minimizes stress concentration, ideal for high-temperature/high-pressure applications. Easy to install and compatible with various flanges or welding types, it balances cost-effectiveness and performance, making it a preferred choice for efficient fluid transmission.
