Product introduction
High-Pressure 90° Socket Weld Elbow
A forged steel piping component designed to create precise right-angle turns in high-pressure systems (3000psi+) using socket weld connections for maximum joint integrity.
Technical Specifications
Critical Design Features
90° Short/Long Radius:
