Long Butt Weld Elbows - 90 Degree - (Various Sizes)
Long Butt Weld Elbows - 90 Degrees are specialized pipe fittings designed to change the flow direction by 90 degrees within a piping system. These fittings use the butt weld method to attach seamlessly to the ends of pipes, ensuring a strong, permanent connection with minimal risk of leaks. The term "long" refers to the radius of the elbow‚'s bend—long radius elbows have a centerline curvature equal to 1.5 times the nominal pipe size (NPS). This design provides a smoother directional transition, reducing turbulence, pressure drops, and wear on the system, which is especially valuable in applications requiring efficiency and durability.
Commonly used in industries like commercial brewing and winemaking, these 90-degree elbows are ideal for tasks such as transferring liquids with precision while maintaining consistent flow rates.
