Table of Content

Kaizen Steel Industries is a manufacturer & supplier of high-quality Buttweld Fittings, including ANSI/ASME B16.9 Butt Weld 45° Short Radius Elbows, offering competitive prices in the market. Our 45° Short Radius Elbows are tested and verified for durability, accuracy, and precision. These fittings are available in various shapes and sizes to suit different applications.

What is a 45 Degree Short Radius Elbow?

A 45° Short Radius Elbow, often referred to as SR45, is a buttweld fitting used to change the direction of flow in piping systems. The “45” refers to the angle of the bend. In contrast, a Long Radius (LR) Elbow, such as an LR 90 or LR 45, has a bending radius that is 1.5 times the nominal pipe size. 

For example, a 6-inch LR 90 Elbow has a bending radius of 1.5 times the pipe size, making it 9 inches. On the other hand, a 45° Short Radius Elbow has a bending radius equal to the nominal pipe size. For instance, a 6-inch SR 45 Elbow has a bending radius of 6 inches.

We take care to package our products, like the 45° Short Radius Elbow, to ensure they are not damaged during transit. For exports, we use standard export packaging in wooden boxes or cases. Each 45° Short Radius Elbow is marked with our company logo, grade, size, and lot number. Custom marking is also available upon request.
