What are the common specifications and models of elbow pipe fittings?

Nov. 28, 2025

I. Classification by Angle (Most Common)

1. Common Angles

45° Elbow

90° Elbow (Most Used)

180° Elbow (U-bend)

2. Special Angles

22.5° Elbow

60° Elbow

30°, 75°, 135° and other non-standard angles (customizable)

II. Classification by Length Radius (R)

1. Long Radius Elbow (LR)

Radius = 1.5D (D is pipe diameter)

Most commonly used in engineering

2. Short Radius Elbow (SR)

Radius = 1.0D

Suitable for installation areas with limited space

III. Classification by Nominal Diameter (DN) (Common Sizes)

Commonly used elbow diameter models (applicable to carbon steel, stainless steel, PVC, PP) Pipelines (e.g.):

DN15 (1/2")

DN20 (3/4")

DN25 (1")

DN32 (1¼")

DN40 (1½")

DN50 (2")

DN65

DN80

DN100

DN125

DN150

DN200

DN250

DN300

DN350

DN400 Larger diameters such as DN500~DN1200 are also common in large-scale projects (generally custom-made parts).

IV. Classification by Wall Thickness (Schedule)

V. (Applicable to stainless steel and carbon steel pipe fittings)

Common wall thickness grades:

SCH 10S

SCH 20

SCH 40 / 40S

SCH 80 / 80S

SCH 160

XXS (Thickened)

The greater the wall thickness, the stronger the pressure resistance.

V. Classification by Connection Method

1. Butt-welded elbow: Most widely used, high pressure resistance, suitable for medium and high pressure pipelines.

2. Socket-welded elbow: Mostly used in small-diameter, high-pressure systems.

3. Threaded elbow: Commonly used for small diameters (DN15–DN100).

4. Flange elbow: Less common, mostly used in special equipment or maintenance scenarios.

5. Adhesive/hot-melt elbow (PVC, PPR): Used in home decoration and water supply and drainage projects. VI. Classification by Material

Carbon Steel Elbows (CS)

Stainless Steel Elbows (304/316)

Alloy Steel Elbows (P11, P22, etc.)

PVC, PPR, HDPE

Cast Iron Elbows

VII. Examples of Commonly Used "Standard Names" in Engineering

For example:

DN100 90° Long Radius Welded Elbow SCH40

DN50 45° Threaded Elbow

DN200 180° Long Radius Elbow

PPR DN32 90° Hot Melt Elbow

    Low-carbon steel seamless pipe

    Low-carbon steel seamless pipes are seamless tubes manufactured from carbon steel with a carbon content of ≤0.25% through processes such as piercing and rolling. Characterized by moderate strength, excellent plasticity and toughness, and ease of processing, they are among the most widely used basic tubular products in industrial applications. Due to their superior workability, they are commonly referred to in the industry simply as "low-carbon steel."
