3 Inch Stainless Steel 90 Degree Elbow

3 Inch Stainless Steel 90 Degree Elbow
Product Introduction:
Tianjin Baode Steel Co., Ltd manufactures 3 inch stainless steel 90 degree elbows under ASTM/ASME A403 across the WP304, WP304L, WP316 and WP316L grade families, with long radius (R=1.5D) and short radius (R=1.0D) configurations produced from the same tooling line. Every batch ships with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate, and manufacturing can be executed to ASME/ANSI, DIN, JIS or GB standards depending on the destination market. This page covers material grades, wall thickness/pressure classes, factory quality control, and procurement terms for buyers sourcing stainless elbows for oil & gas, chemical processing, municipal and marine piping projects.

Why Us

Why Buyers Choose This Elbow

 

Long radius and short radius stainless steel elbow options
01

Dual Radius Options on One Production Line

We produce both Long Radius (R=1.5D) and Short Radius (R=1.0D) elbows on the same pushing and forming equipment - this means mixed-radius orders do not add a separate tooling changeover or extend your lead time. For layouts with tight fitting-to-fitting clearance, SR elbows reduce installed length; for flow paths where turbulence and pressure drop matter more, LR is the standard choice.

02

Manufactured to Four International Standards

Production drawings can follow ASME/ANSI (US), DIN (Germany), JIS (Japan), or GB (China) dimensional and tolerance requirements. For multinational EPC projects with mixed piping specs, this means one supplier can cover fittings destined for different regional code compliance without re-sourcing.

03

Grade Range Beyond Standard 304/316

In addition to the common WP304/304L and WP316/316L, we carry WP304H, WP316Ti, WP321/321H and WP347/347H for high-temperature or titanium/niobium-stabilized applications, plus low-temperature A402 WPL3/WPL6 and high-performance A860 WPHY grades for pipeline service. Tell us your service temperature and media, and we will confirm the correct grade before quoting.

04

Every Batch Ships With Verifiable Paperwork

Each order includes an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate covering chemical composition and mechanical properties. We also accommodate pre-shipment inspection by SGS, TÜV or BV when your project requires independent verification - see our certification page for our ISO 9001/14001/45001 credentials.

Oil & Gas
Municipal Water
Shipbuilding
Power & Boiler
Natural Gas

Oil & Gas / Petrochemical Piping

Refinery and gathering-line piping deals with corrosive media and cyclic pressure loads, so buyers need fittings verified against batch-level material data. Our WP316/316L elbows come with an EN 10204 3.1 MTC per batch, and higher schedules (XS through XXS) are available for elevated-pressure segments. This traceability is what most petrochemical QA departments ask for before approving a supplier.

Quality Control

Inspection & Documentation

 

QC

Four Checks Before Every Shipment

Stainless steel elbows fail in service for predictable reasons - wrong grade, undersized wall after forming, or out-of-tolerance center-to-end dimensions. Each of those is checked before the fitting leaves the floor.

✓ Raw material traceability to the mill heat number, matched to the grade on your order
✓ Dimensional inspection of center-to-end, ovality and wall thinning after forming
✓ EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate covering chemical composition and mechanical properties
✓ Optional third-party pre-shipment inspection by SGS, TÜV or BV

Capability

Production & Test Capability

 

Stainless steel elbow forming and pushing production
Forming by size and grade

Pushing, pressing, forging or casting - the method is selected by diameter, wall thickness and grade, so a 3" Sch40s elbow and a heavy-wall 24" fitting do not share the same route.

Stainless steel elbow dimensional inspection
Dimensional inspection

Center-to-end, ovality and post-forming wall thinning are measured against the governing standard - the three checks that decide whether a fitting welds in cleanly on site.
