Industrial elbows are fitting accessories often used in various industrial sectors in pipe fitting. An elbow is frequently used in pressurized applications and comes in different shapes and sizes for use in various applications.

They are manufactured using different plastic compounds for use in flow lines for fluids and gases in industrial processes, medical and many other specialized applications. They are constructed strictly with heavy materials for rigid applications like extreme high/low temperature resistance etc.

Numerous elbow-to-elbow combinations are possible (the end of one elbow welded to another). 180 degree bends are easily fabricated this way. The two main types of Pipe elbow are:

Also, while die-stamped fixed elbows offer a smooth, obstruction-free interior, gored fixed elbows don't have as smooth an interior as die-stamped (they still are obstruction-free inside and cost about 20% to 30% less).

For odd angles, an adjustable-angle elbows are the best (the radius must at least be 1-1/2 times the diameter of the pipe and made of 24-gauge metal). Pipe Elbow can be custom made for other angles like :

They are popularly used in the following industries :
