Product Name & StandardsForged Steel Reducing ElbowCompliant with ASTM A182/A403, ASME B16.11, and MSS SP79 standards.
Core DefinitionA specialized forged pipe component designed to simultaneously change fluid flow direction and reduce pipe diameter in metal valve-pipe systems. It connects two pipes of different sizes while redirecting flow, integrating dual functions for efficient pipeline configuration.
Structural & Material Advantages
- One-piece forged construction eliminates internal defects, ensuring exceptional structural strength, rigidity, and long-term durability.
- Manufactured from high-grade forged steel, it exhibits superior mechanical performance, corrosion resistance, and reliable pressure-bearing capacity.
- Robust design tailored for high-pressure operating conditions, minimizing deformation and leakage risks.
Key Specifications
- Angles: 45°, 90° (standard configurations); custom angles available upon request.
- Connection Types: Butt Welding (BW), Socket Welding (SW) – compatible with mainstream pipeline installation requirements.
- Pressure Rating: PN10 – PN420 / Class 150 – 2500.
- Typical Materials: Carbon Steel (A105), Stainless Steel (304L/316L), Duplex Steel (2205), Alloy Steel (F11/F22).
- Size Range: DN10×DN8 to DN100×DN80 (NPS 1/4"×1/8" to 4"×3") – covering common reducing diameter combinations.
Application Fields
- Industrial Valve-Pipe Networks: Oil & gas transmission, chemical processing, petrochemicals, power generation, metallurgy, water treatment.
- Infrastructure & Specialized Systems: High-pressure plumbing, industrial HVAC, process pipelines requiring directional change and diameter reduction.
