ASME B16.9 Elbow
ASME B16.9 Elbow Manufacturer & Supplier
ASME B16.9 Elbow is a factory-made butt weld pipe fitting manufactured in accordance with the ASME B16.9 standard. It is designed to change the direction of fluid flow in piping systems while maintaining smooth flow characteristics, pressure integrity, and structural strength. These elbows are widely used in medium- and high-pressure piping systems across various industrial applications.
The ASME B16.9 standard specifies the dimensions, tolerances, manufacturing, marking, materials, inspection, and testing requirements for wrought butt welding fittings. Our ASME B16.9 elbows are manufactured using high-quality raw materials and advanced production techniques to ensure excellent dimensional accuracy, corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and long service life.
Available in different sizes, schedules, angles, and material grades, our ASME B16.9 elbows are suitable for oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, power generation, marine, offshore, water treatment, and other industrial piping systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ASME B16.9 Elbow?
An ASME B16.9 elbow is a factory-made butt weld fitting used to change the direction of flow in a piping system. It is manufactured according to the ASME B16.9 standard.
What elbow angles are available?
We manufacture 45°, 90°, and 180° elbows.
What is the difference between Long Radius and Short Radius elbows?
A Long Radius (LR) elbow has a centerline radius equal to 1.5 times the pipe diameter, while a Short Radius (SR) elbow has a radius equal to the pipe diameter. LR elbows offer lower pressure loss, whereas SR elbows are used where installation space is limited.
Which material grades are available?
We supply Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Alloy Steel, Duplex Stainless Steel, Super Duplex Stainless Steel, Low Temperature Carbon Steel, and Nickel Alloy elbows.
Which industries use ASME B16.9 elbows?
They are widely used in oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, refineries, power plants, marine, offshore, water treatment, and other industrial piping systems.
