ASME B16.9 is a standard published by the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers (ASME) that covers the dimensions and
specifications for factory-made wrought steel buttwelding fittings.
These fittings are used for piping systems in various industries.
When it comes to pipe fitting bends, ASME B16.9 provides
guidelines for manufacturing and dimensions. A pipe fitting bend is
a curved section used to change the direction of the piping system.
It is commonly known as an elbow.
Here are some key points related to pipe fitting bends according
to ASME B16.9:
1. Bending Radius: The standard specifies the minimum bending
radius for pipe bends. The bending radius is the radius of
curvature of the centerline of the bend. It is expressed in terms
of the nominal pipe size (NPS) and the outside diameter (OD) of the
pipe. The minimum bending radius depends on the pipe size and
material.
2. Angle of Bend: ASME B16.9 allows pipe fitting bends to be
manufactured in various angles, typically ranging from 22.5 degrees
to 90 degrees. The angle of bend represents the amount of
deflection from the straight direction.
3. Dimensions: The standard provides detailed dimensions for pipe
fitting bends, including the center-to-end dimensions (A and B
dimensions), overall length (OAL), and wall thickness (T). These
dimensions vary depending on the pipe size and the angle of the
bend.
4. Manufacturing: ASME B16.9 outlines the manufacturing process
for pipe fitting bends, including the use of mandrels or bending
machines to achieve the desired curvature. It also specifies the
allowable tolerances for the dimensions and the inspection
requirements.

Company Profile
Established in 1989, Hebei Shengtian Pipe-Fitting Group Co., Ltd.
located in Mengcun County Hebei Province China, covering a land
area of 100,000 square meters, with a workshop of 25,000 square
meters and registered capital of 110 million RMB. Our company has a
strong staff team. There are over 360 employees, including over 30
professionals and technicians.
We are capable of manufacturing various pipe fittings. Our main
products scope: steel elbow, tees, bends, reducers, caps, forged
flanges and sockets. We have been in this line for over 20 years.
Our products are exported to many countries and regions, such as
Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe and America etc. Our pipes
and pipe fittings enjoy a good reputation in domestic and foreign
markets. Every year, hundreds of foreign visitors and innumerable
domestic visitors come to our company for business cooperation.
We have first-class inspection devices, perfect detecting means
and well-trained specialists. And we stick to ISO9000:2000 quality
system and efficiently control procedure in production. We have
confidence that we can supply the best quality products. We would
like to take responsibility for any quality uncertainty. Even so,
our price is competitive. Besides, we can provide the best service
to you.
In order to avoid the policy of the anti-dumping duties imposed
on pipe & fittings from the Europe, United States and other
countries, We can re-export through other countries like Malaysia,
etc, to circumvent the anti-dumping duties, which could make you to
win more competitive price.
Our products are in compliance with many international standards
