# **Carbon Steel Elbows - Product Technical Specification**
*(Compliant with ASTM/ASME/EN Standards)*
## **1. Product Overview**
Carbon steel elbows are pipe fittings used to change the direction of piping systems in industrial, commercial, and infrastructure applications. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel (ASTM A234 WPB, A105, A106, API 5L), these fittings ensure durability, pressure resistance, and corrosion resistance in harsh environments.
### **Key Features:**
- **Material Grades:** ASTM A234 WPB, WPC, A105, A106 Gr. B, API 5L X42-X70
- **Types:** 90°, 45°, 180° (LR/SR), Custom Angles
- **End Connections:** Butt-weld, Socket-weld, Threaded, Flanged
- **Pressure Ratings:** SCH 10, SCH 40, SCH 80, XXH
- **Standards:** ASME B16.9, B16.28, MSS-SP-43, EN 10253
---
## **2. Manufacturing Process**
### **2.1 Material Selection**
- Raw material: Seamless or welded carbon steel pipes (ASTM A106/API 5L)
- Chemical composition control: C ≤ 0.3%, Mn 0.29-1.06%, P/S ≤ 0.025%
### **2.2 Forming Methods**
- **Hot Induction Bending:** For thick-wall elbows (SCH 80+)
- **Cold Forming:** For precision angles (90°/45°)
- **Mandrel Push Bending:** Smooth internal surface finish
### **2.3 Heat Treatment**
- **Normalization:** 900-950°C for stress relief
- **Quenching & Tempering:** Enhances hardness (for high-pressure applications)
### **2.4 Surface Treatment**
- **Shot Blasting:** Removes scale (SA 2.5 standard)
- **Anti-Corrosion Coatings:** Epoxy, galvanization, 3PE coating
