Delivering ASME B16.9 A234 WPB 45° LR butt weld elbow for Iranian client

Haihao Group recently fulfilled an order for a prominent Iranian client, supplying a series of large-diameter pipe fittings, including the 42″ ASME B16.9 45° LR (Long Radius) butt weld elbows made from A234 WPB material. The surface of these elbows was coated with a black paint finish, providing added protection against rust and corrosion during storage and transport.

Overview of the 45° LR Butt Weld Elbow

The 45° long radius butt weld elbow is an essential fitting used in pipeline systems to change the direction of flow by 45 degrees, minimizing pressure loss and maintaining a smooth flow of media. This type of elbow is specifically designed for applications requiring high mechanical strength and efficiency in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries.

Specifications and Standards

Size: The elbows supplied were 42 inches in diameter, highlighting the large-scale nature of this industrial order.

Standard: ASME B16.9, which specifies dimensions, tolerance, and performance requirements for factory-made wrought butt weld fittings.

Material: A234 WPB, a widely used carbon steel material known for its toughness and high-temperature performance. This material ensures durability and reliability in high-pressure environments.

Advantages of A234 WPB Material

The A234 WPB grade is well-suited for manufacturing pipe fittings that need to withstand challenging operational conditions. It provides excellent tensile strength and resistance to high temperatures, making it a preferred choice for heavy-duty industrial applications. Furthermore, A234 WPB is easy to weld and fabricate, ensuring secure connections in pipeline systems.

Protective Black Paint Finish

The 42″ ASME B16.9 45° LR butt weld elbow was coated with black paint to prevent oxidation and extend the lifespan of the fittings. This black coating serves as a cost-effective solution to protect against moisture, UV exposure, and other environmental factors, ensuring that the product remains in prime condition until installation.
