Forged Elbows are high-strength pipe fittings designed to change the direction of fluid flow in industrial piping systems. Manufactured through forging processes, they offer excellent mechanical strength, structural integrity, and pressure resistance. Available in 45-degree and 90-degree configurations, they are commonly supplied with socket weld or threaded connections to meet different piping requirements.
JinHangPipe supplies forged elbows in carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel, with materials including ASTM A105, ASTM A350 LF2, and ASTM A182 grades. Manufactured in accordance with ASME B16.11, these fittings are suitable for high-pressure piping applications in the oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, and power generation industries.

Our forged elbows are manufactured in accordance with ASME B16.11, covering dimensional requirements, pressure classes, and connection types for socket-welding and threaded fittings. Material selection follows relevant ASTM standards, including ASTM A105/A105M, ASTM A350/A350M, and ASTM A182/A182M, ensuring compliance with specified material and mechanical requirements.
Manufacturing processes include forging, heat treatment, and precision machining to achieve reliable mechanical properties, dimensional accuracy, and surface quality. Each product undergoes relevant inspections and testing to meet project specifications and support reliable performance in high-pressure piping systems.
Forged elbows are widely used in high-pressure piping systems where reliable directional changes and strong connections are required. Their forged construction makes them suitable for demanding industrial environments, including:
Oil and Gas Industry: Pipeline systems, wellhead equipment, and high-pressure fluid transportation.
Petrochemical Industry: Process piping, refining units, and chemical transfer systems.
Power Generation: Steam pipelines, boiler connections, and high-temperature piping systems.
Chemical Processing: Industrial piping handling corrosive fluids and chemical media.
Industrial Manufacturing: High-pressure hydraulic systems, equipment connections, and process piping.
What is a forged elbow?
A forged elbow is a pipe fitting manufactured through a forging process to change the direction of fluid flow in piping systems. It is commonly available in 45-degree and 90-degree configurations with socket weld or threaded connections.
What standards apply to forged elbows?
Forged elbows are generally manufactured in accordance with ASME B16.11, which specifies requirements for socket-welding and threaded forged fittings, including dimensions and pressure classes.
What materials are available for forged elbows?
Common materials include carbon steel ASTM A105, low-temperature carbon steel ASTM A350 LF2, alloy steel ASTM A182 F11 and F22, and stainless steel ASTM A182 F304, F304L, F316, and F316L.
What pressure classes are available for forged elbows?
Forged elbows are available in Class 2000, 3000, and 6000 for threaded connections, and Class 3000, 6000, and 9000 for socket weld connections, in accordance with ASME B16.11.
What connection types are available for forged elbows?
The main connection types are socket weld (SW) and threaded (THD). Socket weld ends are used for welded pipe connections, while threaded ends allow mechanical connections using compatible pipe threads.
What industries use forged elbows?
Forged elbows are commonly used in oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, power generation, and other industrial piping systems requiring compact, high-pressure connections.
Can forged elbows be customized?
Yes. Material grades, dimensions, pressure classes, connection types, and other requirements can be specified according to project drawings and technical requirements, subject to manufacturing feasibility.
