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

Description:

Elbow SR (Short Radius Elbow) is a pipe fitting with a curvature radius equal to 1.0 times the nominal pipe diameter, distinguishing it from long-radius elbows. Manufactured from carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel via forging or casting, it features a compact design for space-constrained installations. The smooth inner wall minimizes fluid turbulence, while its standardized dimensions (e.g., ASME B16.9) ensure compatibility with piping systems. Surface treatments like anti-rust coating enhance corrosion resistance, making it suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

Specifications:

Applications:

Elbow SR is widely used in industries requiring space-efficient pipe routing, such as petrochemical plants, power generation facilities, and shipbuilding. It adapts to tight layouts in offshore platforms and compact mechanical systems. Additionally, it fits small-diameter pipes in water treatment and HVAC systems, where sharp turns are needed without extensive modifications.

Advantages：

Its primary advantage is space efficiency, ideal for congested layouts. The short radius allows sharp turns, reducing overall pipe length and installation costs. It also offers high structural strength, with forged models resisting stress from fluid pressure and thermal expansion. Compatibility with standard flanges and fittings simplifies integration, while material versatility suits corrosive or high-temperature environments.
