Long Butt Weld Elbows - 45 Degree - (Various Sizes)

45 Degree Long Butt Weld Elbows are pipe fittings that allow for a 45-degree change in the direction of flow within a piping system. These fittings are attached to the ends of pipes using the butt weld method, which involves welding the beveled ends of the elbow and the pipes together to create a seamless and strong connection. The "long" descriptor refers to the radius of the elbow; a long radius elbow has a centerline curvature equal to 1.5 times the nominal pipe size (NPS) or diameter, providing a smoother bend that minimizes pressure drops and turbulence within the flow. This is particularly beneficial in applications requiring a gentle directional change without significant flow resistance.
