ELBOWS

An elbow provides a change in material flow direction. This adds pressure losses to the system due to impact, friction and re-acceleration. As product enters the inlet of the elbow, it typically continues moving straight ahead to the first impact zone. The product is then deflected at an angle toward the outlet of the elbow. The deflection angle is determined by the elbow design the product’s characteristics, the conveying velocity,and specific load.

TEES

Tee is a forged fitting used for splitting and changing flow direction of run pipe. Tee can be manufactured with butt weld extremities,socket extremities or threaded extremities. Tees are in two types:

Equal Tee: The primary purpose of a Tee is to make a 90° branch from the main run of pipe. … The equal tee (or straight tee) is used as the branch has the same diameter as the run-pipe. 

Reducing Tee: The reducing tee is used as the branch has a smaller diameter as the run-pipe.

Reducers

A reducer is the component in a in a pipeline that reduces the pipe size from a larger to asmaller bore (inner diameter). The length of the reduction is usually equal to the average of the larger and smaller pipe diameters. There are two main types of reducer: concentric and eccentric reducers.

Concentric Reducers : The concentric reducer is cone-shaped, and is used when there is a shift in diameter between pipes. For example, when a 1″ pipe transitions into a 3/4″ pipe and the top or bottom of the pipe doesn’t need to remain level. Unlike eccentric reducers, concentric reducers have a common center line.

Eccentric Reducer : An eccentric reducer is a fitting used in piping systems between two pipes of different diameters. They are used where the diameter of the pipe on the upstream side of the fitting (i.e. where flow is coming from) is larger than the downstream side.

CAPS

Basically a cap will be applied, to shut down the end of a pipe. It is available for all pipe dimensions. They are used to close pipes of large diameters, and are similar to those used for constructing vessels.
