Description
Technical Parameters

Butt-weld elbows for continuous-duty piping, produced across the full seamless-to-welded size range from a single supplier.

Weld on pipe elbows ASTM A234 WPB carbon steel manufactured by Tianjin Baode Steel
✓ Bevel-end preparation to ANSI B16.9 with controlled land thickness and edge angle - cuts field weld prep time and reduces rework from misaligned bevels.
✓ Shot-blasted ID/OD surface plus anti-corrosion coating - strips mill scale before painting, limiting inline contamination and rust during ocean transit.
✓ Dual production route: seamless to 36", welded from 5" to 110" - one supplier across the full size range instead of splitting orders between two vendors.
✓ Manufactured as per ANSI B16.9, MSS SP 75, EN10253-2, and JIS B2313 - one elbow spec accepted across US, EU, and Asian project documentation.
✓ Grade range from A234 WPB to API 5L X70 - matches elbow material to connecting pipe grade, keeping weld metallurgy consistent along the line.
✓ Export crating matched to size: plywood case under 8" (capped near 1 metric ton), plywood pallet from 10", individual crate from 24" - protects bevel ends and coating in transit.

Built for Field Welding and Export Transit

Bevel end machining on weld on pipe elbow at Tianjin Baode Steel factory

Bevel-End Preparation to ANSI B16.9

Every elbow end is machined on our dedicated bevel end line, holding land thickness and bevel angle within ANSI B16.9 tolerance. This matters most on multi-source projects - a bevel that's out of spec forces your site welders to re-grind before they can run a root pass, adding time to every joint. Consistent bevel geometry lets your welding crew move straight to fit-up on delivery.

Shot Blasting + Anti-Corrosion Coating

Before coating, inner and outer surfaces pass through our shot blasting equipment, which strips mill scale and surface oxide down to bare metal. We then apply anti-corrosion paint in black or color finish. This two-step process is standard on every carbon steel and alloy steel fitting we export - skipping it is what leads to rust bleeding through paint within months of installation in humid or coastal sites.

Export Packaging Sized to Protect Bevel Ends

Sizes 8" and below ship in plywood cases, capped at roughly one metric ton per case so a single box stays within standard forklift and manual handling limits. From 10" up, elbows go on plywood pallets; from 24" up, each piece is individually crated to keep bevel faces and coating from contacting adjacent fittings during transit. Every case carries a label with size, steel grade, and batch number for traceability at your yard.

Application Scenarios

Six industries where our weld on pipe elbows run in service today.

Weld on pipe elbow used in petroleum industry piping

Petroleum Industry

Crude and product lines run mixed sour and sweet service, where a mismatched elbow grade shortens fitting life. Our A234 WPB and API 5L elbows are graded to match connecting line pipe, keeping weld metallurgy consistent from spool to spool.

Weld on pipe elbow dimension reference for refinery piping

Refinery Piping

Refinery turnarounds run on tight schedules, and a bevel that needs re-grinding on site costs welding hours you don't have. Bevel geometry held to ANSI B16.9 across every elbow means your crew fits up straight from the crate.

Shot blasted weld on pipe elbow for fertilizer plant piping corrosion resistance

Fertilizer Industry

Ammonia and urea process lines expose fittings to corrosive atmospheres inside and out. Shot-blasted surfaces plus anti-corrosion coating on every elbow reduce the surface pitting that leads to early replacement in this environment.

Medium frequency bending machine producing elbows for power station piping

Power Station

Steam and boiler feed lines call for wall thickness precision across a wide schedule range. We hold Std through Sch160 on the same elbow body, so you can match wall thickness to design pressure without switching suppliers.

Polishing robot finishing weld on pipe elbow surface for shipbuilding piping

Shipbuilding

Onboard piping runs in confined spaces where a poorly finished weld root snags inspection tools. Consistent bevel prep and surface finish keep root pass quality even across repetitive shipyard fit-up runs.

Vertical lathe machining weld on pipe elbow for onshore platform piping

Onshore Platform

Platform piping installs often mix ANSI and EN documentation on the same project. Elbows produced to ANSI B16.9, MSS SP 75, and EN10253-2 simultaneously mean one purchase order clears both spec sheets.

OEM / ODM Service

We produce weld on pipe elbows against your drawing, spec sheet, or branding requirement - custom bevel angle, coating color, or export marking included. Click each step below to see what happens at that stage.

Customer Cases

Sample case: weld on pipe elbow delivery for refinery project in Turkey SAMPLE

Refinery EPC Contractor · Turkey

Pain Point: Previous supplier's bevel tolerance drifted outside ANSI B16.9, forcing site re-grinding on roughly 1 in 8 elbows before welding.

Solution: Switched to our 8"–24" A234 WPB weld on elbows, LR, Sch40, with bevel geometry verified against ANSI B16.9 before shipment.

Result: 340 pieces delivered across two 40HQ containers within a 22-day production and shipping window; site fit-up proceeded without bevel rework.

Sample case: weld on pipe elbow delivery for fertilizer plant project in Morocco SAMPLE

Fertilizer Plant Buyer · Morocco

Pain Point: Coastal, ammonia-heavy atmosphere was corroding uncoated elbow surfaces within a year of installation.

Solution: Supplied shot-blasted 4"–12" WPB elbows with anti-corrosion coating, Sch80, matched to the plant's existing line pipe grade.

Result: 180 pieces delivered on plywood pallets in one 20GP container; no coating failure reported in the first maintenance cycle after install.

Sample case: weld on pipe elbow delivery for shipyard project in Vietnam SAMPLE

Shipyard Piping Subcontractor · Vietnam

Pain Point: Needed both LR and SR elbows across mixed 2"–10" sizing from one order to avoid splitting purchase orders between two mills.

Solution: Consolidated the order into a single A234 WPB batch covering LR and SR, Sch40 and Sch80, produced and packed together.

Result: Full order shipped in one 20GP container within the standard 15-day lead time, cutting the buyer's supplier count for this line from two to one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes and wall thickness schedules do you produce for weld on pipe elbows? +

We produce weld on pipe elbows from 1/2" to 36" in seamless construction and 5" to 110" in welded construction, across 45°, 90°, and 180° angles in both long radius (LR) and short radius (SR). Wall thickness runs from Sch10 through Sch160, plus Std, XS, and XXS.

What is the difference between A234 WPB and API 5L grade elbows? +

A234 WPB is forged carbon steel for general pressure piping at moderate to high temperature, produced per ASTM A234. API 5L grades (GR B through X70) are line pipe grades with defined yield strength, used on oil and gas transmission lines. We manufacture both grade families across the same 1/2"–110" size range - tell us your line pipe spec and we match elbow grade to it.

Which standards do these elbows comply with? +

Manufactured as per ANSI B16.9, MSS SP 75, EN10253-2, and JIS B2313, covering US, European, and Japanese piping code references on the same physical elbow - useful when your project mixes documentation standards.

What is the MOQ and standard lead time? +

MOQ starts at 1 piece. Standard lead time is 15 working days for stocked sizes and grades; peak season (Q3–Q4) runs up to 30 days for larger or custom orders. Submit your quote request with size and quantity for an exact date.

What surface treatment do the elbows come with? +

Inner and outer surfaces are shot-blasted to remove mill scale, then coated with anti-corrosion paint in black or color finish. This two-step process is standard on every carbon steel and alloy steel fitting we export.

How are the elbows packaged for export, and what fits in a container? +

8" and below ship in plywood cases, capped around one metric ton per case; 10" and above ship on plywood pallets; 24" and above is individually crated. A 20GP holds roughly 20 standard cases (18–22 tons); a 40HQ holds roughly 40 (26–28 tons), depending on size mix.

Do you support OEM/ODM production for custom bevel angles or branding? +

Yes. Send us your drawing or line spec - bevel angle, land thickness, coating color, or export marking - and we quote against a sample confirmation before batch production.

What quality certifications does Tianjin Baode Steel hold? +

ISO 9001:2015 (Certificate No. 1952024Q0837R0S), ISO 14001:2015 (No. 1952024E0437R0S), and ISO 45001:2018 (No. 1952024S0379R0S), all valid through Sep. 9, 2027, covering sales and manufacturing of steel pipe and pipe fittings. Full details on our certificate page.
