Differences Between long radius elbow and short radius elbow

The radius of the long radius is 1.5 times the diameter of the pipe.If it's more than 1.5 times, it's the bends.The radius of the short radius is the radius of curvature of the elbow is equal to the diameter of the pipe, which is twice as much.D is the diameter of the elbow.Long radius is the most commonly used, generally the default also long radius, high pressure or high velocity it USES long radius, if it is solid conveying pipelines is demanding the larger the radius of the elbow.The short radius is usually used in low pressure fluid or where the elbow is limited during installation.If there is no condition limit or the preferred long radius elbow is not specified in the contract.Packing used wooden cases, wooden brackets and so on.The long radius elbow is made of stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, etc.Usage: sewage treatment, chemical, thermal, pharmaceutical, aerospace, power, paper and other industries.

From the visual Angle, the short radius elbow is much shorter than the long radius, and the bending radius of the elbow is very short.Long radius elbow is one of the most commonly used, generally the default also long radius, high pressure or high velocity it USES long radius, if it is solid conveying pipelines is demanding the larger the radius of the elbow.Short radius is usually used in low - pressure fluid or with limited elbow.If there is no condition limit or the preferred long radius elbow is not specified in the contract.
