All Buttweld Elbow Types in All Grades

Buttweld elbows are the most ordered fitting type. Available in all four standard types, all grades, all schedules. Every elbow is manufactured to ASME B16.9 dimensional requirements.

Most Ordered
ASME B16.9 — Long Radius

90° Long Radius (LR) Elbow

The standard elbow for most piping applications. Centre-to-face dimension = 1.5 × nominal pipe diameter. Lower pressure drop than short radius. Used whenever space allows — oil & gas, chemical, power plant piping.

ASME B16.9 — Short Radius

90° Short Radius (SR) Elbow

Centre-to-face = 1.0 × nominal pipe diameter. Used where space is limited and higher pressure drop is acceptable. Common in tight equipment arrangements, pump suction/discharge, and compact process skids.

ASME B16.9 — 45° Long Radius

45° Long Radius (LR) Elbow

Used when a 45° change in direction is required. Lower pressure drop than 90° elbows. Common in headers, offset piping, and drainage systems. Available in all grades and sizes.

180° Return Bend

Used to reverse flow direction in U-tube configurations. Available in long radius (3D) and short radius (2D) configurations. Common in heat exchangers, fired heaters, and coil systems.
