The 180 degree elbow,commonly referred to as return bend or U-bend,is an essential butt-welded pipe fitting.Its primary function is to alter the flowing direction of medium in pipelines by exactly 180 degrees,forming a U-shaped connection between two parallel pipelines.
According to bending radius,it is divided into Long Radius(LR)and Short Radius(SR)180 degree elbows.Long radius elbows own smaller fluid resistance and better flow performance,while short radius ones save more installation space.
We supply full-size 180°elbows in diverse materials such as carbon steel A234 WPB,stainless steel 304,316L and alloy steel.All products are strictly manufactured following ASME B16.9,GB/T 12459,EN and DIN standards.With smooth surface,reliable welding performance,outstanding anti-corrosion property and high structural strength,our 180 degree elbows are widely adopted in oil&gas,chemical processing,thermal power,HVAC,shipbuilding and industrial pipeline projects.
