Carbon Steel Welded Elbow 90 3D

About Carbon Steel Welded Elbow 90 3D

A Carbon Steel Welded Elbow 90 3D is a type of pipe fitting used to change the direction of flow in a piping system. Lets break down what each part of that name means:

Component Breakdown:

Carbon Steel

• A type of steel where the main alloying element is carbon.
• Offers good strength, durability, and resistance to wear.
• Common grades: ASTM A234 WPB, A420 WPL6 (for low-temp), etc.

Welded

• Manufactured by welding steel plates or strips into a pipe and forming the elbow.
• More cost-effective than seamless elbows, especially for larger diameters.
• Suitable for applications where extreme pressure isn't a concern.

Elbow 90

• A 90-degree elbow changes the direction of the pipe by 90 degrees.
• Used when a sharp change in direction is required.

3D (Radius)

• Refers to the radius of curvature of the elbow.
• 3D means the radius is 3 times the nominal diameter (D) of the pipe.
• For example, for a 10" pipe, the centerline radius is 30".
• Compared to 1D or 1.5D elbows, 3D elbows provide smoother flow and lower pressure drop, often used in higher flow systems or where erosion is a concern.

Typical Dimensions (example for 6 pipe):

• Nominal Size Center-to-End (A) Radius (R) (3D)
• 6 -9 -18
• (Dimensions can vary slightly depending on standards: ASME B16.9, EN, etc.)

Applications:

• Oil & Gas
• Petrochemical
• Power Plants
• Water Transmission
• Shipbuilding
• If you need:
• CAD drawing
• Technical datasheet
• 3D model file
• Standard spec (ASME B16.9, DIN, etc.)
