Buttweld Pipe Fittings ASME B16.9

Yes, you can find 180-degree elbows in various materials, allowing you to choose the one suitable for your specific application.

Yes, collars come in different materials to suit the specific environmental and corrosion resistance requirements of the application.

Yes, there are equal tees, where all three openings are of the same size, and reducing tees, where one of the branches is smaller than the other two.

No, a stub end is not intended for direct welding to pipes but rather for use with lap joint flanges.

In some cases, you can request custom bend radii to meet specific project requirements, but standard sizes are readily available.

It depends on your specific piping requirements. A 45-degree elbow provides a gentler turn compared to a 90-degree elbow, so it’s suitable for different applications.

Yes, you can use 90-degree elbows in high-pressure applications, but it’s important to choose the appropriate material and specifications to meet the pressure requirements.

A pipe bend provides a gradual change in direction, while an elbow typically provides a sharper turn. Pipe bends are used when space constraints or flow considerations require a more gradual curve.

Concentric reducers have a common centerline for both ends, while eccentric reducers have one end off-center, often used to maintain a level flow or drainage.

Pipe bends reduce pressure drop and minimize turbulence in the flow, making them suitable for applications requiring smooth fluid movement.

180-degree elbows are used to minimize turbulence and pressure drop in pipelines where a complete reversal of flow direction is required.

Cross fittings are often used in industrial processes, particularly in complex piping systems where multiple branch connections are needed.

90-degree elbows are available in various sizes, ranging from small-diameter pipes to large industrial pipes. Common sizes are specified by nominal pipe size (NPS).

These terms refer to the radius of curvature of the elbow. For example, a 1D elbow has a radius equal to the nominal pipe diameter, while a 5D elbow has a radius five times the nominal pipe diameter.

A cross fitting is used to create a branch in a pipeline with four openings at right angles to each other, allowing for the flow in multiple directions.

Collars are used to reinforce and provide additional support to the end of a pipe, especially in high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

A 45-degree elbow is used to change the direction of a piping system by 45 degrees. It’s commonly used to avoid sharp turns in pipelines.

A buttweld tee is used to create a branch in a pipeline, allowing the fluid to flow in three different directions.

45-degree elbows are available in various materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel, to suit different environmental conditions and fluid types.

End pipe caps are commonly made of materials like stainless steel, carbon steel, and various alloys, depending on the application.

Stub ends are used in conjunction with lap joint flanges to create a loose or rotating joint, ideal for applications that require frequent disassembly.

An 180-degree elbow is used when you need to reverse the direction of flow completely, creating a U-turn in the piping system.

The choice depends on the space available and the desired flow characteristics. A 1D elbow is more compact, while a 3D elbow provides smoother flow.

A 90-degree elbow is typically used when you need a right-angle turn in your piping system, such as changing the direction of flow or connecting pipes at right angles.

Reducers are used to connect pipes of different sizes or diameters, allowing for a smooth transition in the flow of fluids.

End pipe caps are used to seal the end of a pipe, preventing the entry of dust, dirt, or foreign materials and protecting the contents of the pipe.
