In pipe systems, elbows are fittings that change the direction of the pipeline. According to the angle, there are three most commonly used types: 45 °, 90 ° and 180 °. In addition, other abnormal angle elbows such as 60 ° are also included according to engineering needs. The materials for elbows include cast iron, stainless steel, alloy steel, malleable cast iron, carbon steel, non-ferrous metals, and plastics. The methods of connecting with pipes include direct welding (the most commonly used method) flange connection, hot melt connection, electric melt connection, threaded connection, and socket connection. According to the production process, it can be divided into welded elbows, stamped elbows, push made elbows, cast elbows, welded elbows, etc.
Feature of elbow
1.Material diversity:the materials for elbows include cast iron,stainless steel,alloy steel ,carbon steel,non-ferrous metals and plastic,meeting the needs of different media and application scenarios.
2.There are various connection methods:elbows can be connected to pipes through direct welding,flange connection,hot melt connection,electric fusion connection,threaded connection and socket connection,providing great flexibility and convenience.
3.Diverse production processes:The production process of elbows includes welding elbows,stamping elbows,push elbows,casting elbows,butt welding elbows,etc.Each process has its specific application scenarios and advantages.

Application of elbow
In pipeline engineering, elbows are one of the essential fittings used for bending pipes, enabling them to adapt to various complex construction environments such as turns, intersections, etc., ensuring construction quality and safety.
In architectural decoration, elbows are often used to bend pipes. For example, when installing water pipes, heating pipes, range hoods and other equipment, elbows can bend pipes into various shapes to meet different installation needs.
In industrial manufacturing, elbows are also widely used in various mechanical equipment for bending pipes made of various metals, plastics, and other materials.
In addition, elbows are widely used in fields such as power engineering, petrochemicals, and food processing, for the installation, maintenance, and replacement of various pipeline systems. In these fields, elbows are commonly used to connect pipelines, change the direction of flow, allow fluid to flow in the pipeline, reduce fluid resistance, connect pipelines, avoid water leakage or seepage between pipelines, and regulate flow rate.
