Stainless 3000LB socket weld 90° elbows are the preferred fittings for sealing pipelines used in the transmission of high pressure fluids. Main features are as follows: Manufactured from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel material in accordance with ASTM A182 standard. 3000 LB (pound-force per square inch) pressure class. It has a socket welded connection type, allowing the pipes to be joined tightly. Since it is welded, it has high sealing properties. Generally produced in diameters ranging from 1/4" to 2". Manufactured in accordance with ANSI B16.11 standard. It is used in industries such as food, chemistry, petrochemistry, pharmaceuticals. Stainless 3000LB socket weld 90° elbows are preferred because they provide reliable connection in corrosive and hygienic environments. It is used for directing the fluid in pipelines, valves and other installation elements.
1. Oil and Gas Industry: Frequently used in oil pipelines, gas pipelines and oil refineries. In these facilities, stainless steel socket weld elbows of different diameters are used to ensure the rotation of pipelines.
2. Chemical Industry: In chemical plants, pipelines are used for the transportation of chemicals and within these lines, the pipes may need to change direction.
3. Water and Waste Water Facilities: Stainless socket weld elbows are used in water-related infrastructure projects such as water distribution, waste water treatment plants and water pumps.
4. Construction and Building: There are many applications in construction projects where pipes need to rotate or change direction. Especially for the water supply and waste water discharge of large buildings and facilities, stainless socket weld elbows are used.
5. Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC): In HVAC systems, socket weld elbows are used for distributing air and routing pipes.
6. Marine and Ships: In the marine industry, pipelines pass through ship engines and systems. The pipes and elbows of these lines are critical to ship design and operation.
