BOTHWELL® TAIWAN FORGED CARBON STEEL 45DEGREE ELBOW THREADED

BOTHWELL® FORGED STEEL 45° ELBOW THREADED NPT

Forged Carbon Steel 45-Degree Elbow Threaded NPT fittings, such as those produced by Bothwell®, are designed to change the direction of flow in a piping system by 45 degrees. These fittings are typically used in high-pressure and high-temperature applications due to their robust construction and reliable performance.

Specification

  1. Material:
    • Forged Carbon Steel: Known for its strength and durability, typically conforming to ASTM A105 or similar standards.
  2. Connection Type:
    • Threaded NPT: National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads, which are the standard for threaded pipe connections in the U.S.
  3. Angle:
    • 45 Degrees: Changes the direction of flow by 45 degrees.
  4. Pressure Rating:
    • Class 2000, 3000, 6000: Depending on the specific application requirements, the pressure rating can vary. Common classes are 2000 (low-pressure), 3000 (medium-pressure), and 6000 (high-pressure).
  5. Size Range:
    • Typically available in sizes from 1/8 inch to 4 inches.
  6. Dimensions:
    • Dimensions vary based on size and pressure class, typically conforming to ASME B16.11 standards for forged fittings.
