High-Performance Forged Elbows for High-Pressure Piping Systems
Release Time:
Jul 23,2025
Compact, Durable, and Reliable – Ideal for Oil & Gas, Power, and Industrial Applications
FORGED FITTINGS – ELBOW
Structural Features:
Forged elbows are high-strength pipe fittings used to change the direction of flow in a piping system, typically by 45° or 90°.
Manufactured from high-pressure forged round bars or billets, ensuring exceptional strength, durability, and compact size.
Designed for use in small diameter, high-pressure systems.
Types of Elbows:
-90° Elbow: Makes a right-angle turn in the piping
-45° Elbow: Creates a smoother directional change
-Street Elbow: One end is male-threaded, the other is female
Available in socket weld and threaded (NPT/BSPT) connection ends
Standards:
ASME B16.11 – Forged Fittings
MSS SP-79 / SP-83 / SP-95
BS 3799 (British Standard, optional)
Pressure Classes:
Class 2000 / 3000 / 6000 / 9000
(Suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature systems)
Applications:
Widely used in:
Oil & Gas transmission lines
Petrochemical & Chemical plants
Power stations
Shipbuilding and offshore
Boiler and pressure vessel systems
Ideal for tight spaces where large-radius elbows are not feasible.
Common Materials:
Carbon Steel (ASTM A105)
Stainless Steel (ASTM A182 F304, F316, etc.)
Alloy Steel (ASTM A182 F11, F22)
Duplex Stainless Steel / Inconel / Monel / Hastelloy, etc. (for corrosive services)
Connection Types:
Socket Weld (SW): For welded joints, leak-tight
Threaded (THD): For screw-type piping connections (NPT/BSPT)
Recommendation:
Forged elbows are essential in systems requiring compact, durable, and leak-proof directional changes.
They are especially favored in high-pressure applications and environments where reliability and strength are critical.
Recommended over cast fittings when mechanical integrity and corrosion resistance are top priorities.
