Elbow Tube Fittings
Introduction
In the piping system there are several types of pipe connections as follows straight, Elbow, tee and cross shapes.
These types of Elbow shape connections are widely used for tubing systems. in tubing piping system, the use of elbow tube connection is required if not using the bending process. The bending process requires special equipment called bending tools. The use of elbows in the Tubing piping process so that we can direct the piping system in the direction want.
Elbow fittings are use to connect the corner shape of two piping tubing systems to the tubing. Elbow piping systems have a 90o degree or 45o degree bend. There are several types of connections on elbow tubes:
Piping Symbols
Type of Elbow Tube
Male Elbows - LM
The shape of the male elbow is two side connections as follows connecting the tubing to the female hole, so we have to provide a male shape. There are several types of male threads used. Thread types of NPT, BSPT, BSPP, Metric, SAE and so on.
45° Male Elbows - VM
The 45o degree male elbow has a slope of 45o degrees, not 90o degrees. Just like other Male elbows, there are several types of Male threads used. Thread types NPT, BSPT, BSPP, Metric, SAE and so on.
Positionable Male Elbows - LP
Positionable Male Elbow is an Elbow that we can direct the branch to according to needs. Usually the type of male thread used is SAE type and what functions as a seal on the thread is an O-ring.
45 ° Positionable Male Elbows - VP
This type of Positionable elbow is the same as the Male elbow, Positionable male elbow has a slope angle of 45 degrees.
Female Elbows - LF
This type of elbow has a 90o degree angle and use to connect tubing to male type pipes, so we have to provide the male side. There are several types of female threads use. Thread types of NPT, BSPT, BSPP, Metric, SAE and so on.
Union Elbows - LU
This type of elbow connects tubing with tubing and is 90o degrees in shape, usually use as a replacement if we do not carry out the bending process. For the bending process, knowledge of bending calculations usually require. Tubing will slight increase in length if the bending (gain) process is Carrie out.
Union Reducing Elbows - LU
This elbow shape use to connect tubing to tubing, but the sizes are different. there is a decrease in size from larger and smaller.
Weld Elbow-WU
This type of elbow use to connect tubing and tubing or pipe to pipe using the welding method.
Excellent Processing Technology
Thread processing technology
- Threads are produced by rolling stead of cutting. The thread surface hardness and smoothness are improving performance is improve substantially and smoothness are improved. Performance is improved substantially.
- Tolerance for thread engagement length of FITOK NPT threads is half of that of ASMEB1.20.1requirements and is plus tolerance:
Radius junction design within elbows provide smooth flow path, reduce flow resistance and eliminates entrapment zones, make it easier for pipeline internal cleaning.
We offers a variety of Tube Fittings and Tube installation Tools specifically designed.
