Elbow Fitting

Elbow fitting for directional change in exhaust ductwork systems

Component Specifications

Definition
A precision-engineered pipe fitting designed to change the direction of airflow in industrial exhaust ductwork systems, typically manufactured at standard angles (45°, 90°) to facilitate efficient routing while minimizing pressure drop and turbulence.
Working Principle
Utilizes curved geometry to redirect airflow with minimal energy loss through gradual radius design, maintaining laminar flow characteristics while accommodating system layout constraints.
Materials
Galvanized steel (ASTM A653), stainless steel (304/316L), aluminum alloys (6061-T6), or fiberglass-reinforced plastic for corrosive environments
Technical Parameters
  • Angle 45°, 90°, custom angles
  • Radius 1.5D, 2D, 3D (D=pipe diameter)
  • Surface Finish Ra ≤ 3.2 μm for smooth airflow
  • Connection Type Flanged, welded, or clamped
  • Pressure Rating Up to 25 psi
  • Temperature Range -40°F to 750°F (-40°C to 400°C)
Standards
ISO 1127, DIN 2605, ASME B16.9

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between short-radius and long-radius elbow fittings?

Short-radius elbows (1D) create sharper turns with higher pressure drop, while long-radius elbows (1.5D-3D) provide smoother airflow with lower turbulence and energy loss.

How do I select the right material for exhaust elbow fittings?

Consider exhaust temperature, chemical composition, moisture content, and corrosion potential. Galvanized steel for general applications, stainless steel for high-temperature/corrosive environments, and aluminum for lightweight requirements.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
