ANSI B16.9 Carbon Steel Stainless Steel Buttweld Seamless Pipe Fitting Bend Specification

The difference between Pipe Fitting Bend and elbow

　　Bend is a generic term for any offset or change of direction in the piping. It is a vague term that also includes elbows. An elbow is an engineering term and they are classified as 90 deg or 45 deg, short or long radius. Elbows have industrial standards and have limitations to size, bend radius and angle.

　　Pipe elbows and pipe fitting bends are both very common pipe fittings products which are used to change the flowing direction in a piping systems.Some times they are interchangeable,but not same.

　　A pipe fitting bend means a piece of pipe which are bent to some angle to join two pipings.They can be nearly any bending radius and angles.Pipe Fitting bends are commonly produced on site to meet a specific need by hot induction bending or cold bending.A elbow means a specific pipe fitting bend as per the standard ANSI/ASME B16.9 (or EN 10253,or other pipe fittings standards).Commonly the elbows have a bending radius of 1.5D or 1D (Here the D means nominal diameter of this bend),which are called “Long Radius elbow (LR elbow)” or “Short Radius elbow(SR elbow)“.And the angle of an elbow is 45 degree or 90 degree usually,some times there are also custom-designed elbows which are 30 degree,60 degree,180 degree or other angles.
