There are many types of elbows, seamless elbows, stamping elbows, reducing elbows, customized butt weld elbows and straight seam elbows, etc., which are dazzling. Today I will tell you about two of them, customized butt weld elbow and straight seam elbow, what is the difference between them?
1. The customized butt weld elbow only uses the medium plate as the raw material. After cutting, it is pressed into half of the section of the two elbows, and then welded along the groove after butt joint. The elbow produced in this way is called the customized butt weld elbow. There are two welding seams. The customized butt weld elbow of our factory can process a wide range of diameters, which is suitable for mass production.
 2. Straight seam elbows generally use straight seam steel pipes as raw materials, which can be produced and processed by stamping. The produced elbows have beautiful appearance and can be shipped from the factory after simple processing. The straight seam elbow has only one weld. It is suitable for pipelines with low pressure. The straight seam elbow is cheap and fast in production, and is loved by many customers. The diameter of the straight seam elbow depends on the diameter of the steel pipe.
From the above two points, it can be concluded that the most obvious difference between the customized butt weld elbow and the straight seam elbow is the welding seam. Here, I remind everyone that no matter which elbow is used, it is recommended to carry out relevant inspections on the welding seam before use. The reuse of the weld level can effectively reduce the maintenance cost in the later stage, and now the general manufacturers can carry out the inspection.
