Carbon Steel Elbow SCH 40 refers to a pipe fitting made of carbon steel, designed to change the direction of flow in a piping system. Here’s a quick breakdown of the term:
🔩 What It Is:
Carbon Steel: A strong, durable metal commonly used in industrial piping.
Elbow: A pipe fitting that allows a change in direction—commonly 45° or 90°.
SCH 40 (Schedule 40): Refers to the wall thickness of the pipe. SCH 40 is a standard thickness, suitable for medium-pressure applications.
Material: Carbon Steel (commonly ASTM A234 WPB)
Butt Weld Elbow
SCH 40 (Standard wall thickness)
½" to 48" (DN15 to DN1200)
45°, 90°, 180°
Long Radius (LR): Radius = 1.5 × Nominal Diameter
Short Radius (SR): Radius = 1.0 × Nominal Diameter
