I. Classification by Angle (Most Commonly Used) This is the most frequently mentioned method in construction and procurement:
45° Elbow: Gentle turn, suitable for pipelines with low pressure and slow flow.
90° Elbow: Most widely used, used to change direction.
180° Elbow: Commonly used in reflux, circulation, and heat exchange systems.
In addition, non-standard angles can also be made, such as 30°, 60°, 75°, 135°, etc., customized according to requirements.
II. Classification by Manufacturing Process
Push-formed elbows:** Smooth surface, low fluid resistance, commonly used in high-pressure, large-diameter applications.
Stamped elbows:** Formed by pressing steel plates, suitable for medium to large diameters.
Welded elbows:** Butt-welded to the pipe, good sealing, high strength, used in high-pressure environments.
Pipe-bending elbows:** Bent from a single pipe, fewer weld joints, complete structure.
III. Classification by Connection Method
Butt-welded elbows:** Most commonly used, high strength, good sealing, used in medium to high-pressure pipelines.
Threaded elbows:** Small diameter, easy to install and disassemble, mostly used in low-pressure pipelines.
Flanged elbows:** Suitable for pipelines requiring frequent disassembly or maintenance.
Socket-welded elbows:** Commonly found in small-diameter high-pressure pipelines, providing even better sealing after welding.
IV. Classification by Bending Radius
Long radius elbows (LR):** R=1.5D, low flow resistance, most commonly used in industrial pipelines.
Short radius elbows (SR):** R=1.0D Used when pipeline space is limited, but with greater fluid resistance.
V. Classification by Pressure Rating
Common Standards: ANSI, GB, HG, SH… Pressure ratings range from PN1.0MPa to PN40MPa, selected according to working conditions for petroleum, chemical, boiler, etc.
VI. Classification by Application/Industry Specialty
General Fluid Transport Elbows
Wear-resistant Elbows (for transporting pulverized coal, mortar)
Corrosion-resistant Lined Elbows (lined with rubber, plastic, or ceramic)
Pressure Pipeline Special Elbows (requires testing and certification)
VII. Classification by Carbon Content
1. By Carbon Content Percentage: Low-carbon steel (C: ≤0.25%), Medium-carbon steel (C: 0.25% ≤ C ≤ 0.6%), High-carbon steel (C: >0.6%). Higher carbon content results in higher hardness and strength, but lower plasticity.
2. Classification by steel quality (mainly referring to the content of impurities sulfur and phosphorus): Ordinary carbon steel (S ≤0.055%, P ≤0.045%), high-quality carbon steel (S ≤0.040%, P ≤0.040%), and premium high-quality carbon steel (S ≤0.030%, P ≤0.035%).
3. Classification by application field: Carbon structural steel: mainly used in bridges, ships, building components, and mechanical parts.
