Custom Carbon Steel Pipe Elbow Shipment Delivered to United Kingdom Client
Haihao Group has completed manufacturing and testing for a specialized order of carbon steel pipe elbows bound for an industrial contractor in the United Kingdom. Designed to meet both European and American pressure piping criteria, this shipment highlights our dual-standard fabrication capabilities across European Norms (EN) and ASME frameworks.
The order includes short-radius and long-radius elbows engineered for distinct fluid transportation networks, ranging from compact boiler installations to large-diameter transmission lines.
Project Order Details
| Product | Size | Outside Diameter | Wall Thickness | Material | Standard |
| 90° Short Radius Elbow | 8″ | 219.1 mm | 8 mm | P265GH | BS EN 10253-2 |
| 45° Long Radius Elbow | 8″ | 219.1 mm | SCH STD | ASTM A234 WPB | ASME B16.9 |
| 90° Short Radius Elbow | 32″ | Longitudinal Welded | SCH STD | ASTM A234 WPB | ASME B16.9 |
Technical Precision & Edge Bevel Processing
For UK pressure vessel applications, material conformity and joint preparation determine structural integrity during field welding. The 8-inch BS EN 10253-2 P265GH elbow units were produced from normalized non-alloy quality steel, providing predictable yield strength and thermal stability under moderate-temperature working conditions.
To support automated end-to-end site welding, every elbow in this order underwent mechanical beveling to a strict 37.5° ± 2.5° angle. Machining centers ensured flat root faces (land) without sharp burrs, preventing weld root defects or stress concentrations during line assembly.
Large-Diameter Fabrication Capabilities: 32-Inch LSAW Elbows
Handling large-bore pipe fittings requires strict ovality control. The 32-inch short-radius elbow included in this shipment was formed using high-grade Longitudinal Submerged Arc Welded (LSAW) pipe stock made from ASTM A234 WPB carbon steel.
Forming large-diameter short-radius elbows demands exact hydraulic control during cold or hot bending to maintain uniform wall thickness along the extrados. By pairing verified raw material with strict non-destructive testing (NDT), each BS EN 10253-2 P265GH elbow and ASME counterpart shipped to the UK complies with pressure containment margins required by European regulations.
Dual-Standard Expertise for UK & European Projects
Supplying UK engineering projects requires clear material traceability and seamless compliance with both legacy British/European standards and standard ASME specifications. Each BS EN 10253-2 P265GH elbow supplied by Haihao Group comes with full EN 10204 3.1 inspection certification, heat number stenciling, and protective surface coating.
Whether your piping design specifies compact BS EN 10253-2 P265GH elbow fittings for tight equipment layouts or heavy-wall ASME B16.9 fittings for cross-country pipelines, our facilities deliver matched components built to your exact bill of materials.
