This 3 in. 90 Degree Elbow is made from Carbon Steel A234 WPB with a Butt weld connection with a STD / Schedule 40 pressure rating.

90-Degree Elbows are Pipe Fittings used to change pipeline directions. They are used to make sharp perpendicular turns within piping systems. 90-Degree Elbows are among the most common types of pipe system components.

Butt weld pipe fittings are fundamental piping components used to create permanent, leak-proof connections by being directly welded into piping systems. Butt weld fittings are typically made by extruding and bending pipe to make shapes, tees and reducers. Buttweld connections are common in shipboard applications, from smaller pipe sizes for handrails up to the largest pipe ODs. Butt weld is preferred for larger sized fittings due to its ease of install.

Carbon Steel is the most common and widely used form of steel worldwide due to its strength, workability, and cost. Carbon Steel is an alloy of Iron that uses carbon as the primary alloying element. As a term, Carbon Steel generally means the component does NOT qualify as Stainless Steel, which is more resistant to corrosion. Carbon Steel A234 refers to a specification indicating the material is suitable for use in pressured and higher temperature applications.
