An extruded elbow is a pipe fitting formed plastically through hot extrusion or cold extrusion processes. It has no weld seams overall, uniform wall thickness, and mechanical properties superior to traditional welded elbows. We can produce carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and other materials. The connection method is mainly butt welding, and the products comply with GB/T12459 and ASME B16.9 standards. Extruded elbows are widely used in high-pressure process pipelines in chemical, power, pressure vessel, and other industries, and are also suitable for clean pipelines. We provide stock supply and non-standard custom services, supporting small-batch sampling and foreign trade export.
Overview
Extruded elbows are pipe fittings plastically formed through hot extrusion or cold extrusion processes, featuring integral bodies without welds, uniform wall thickness, and excellent mechanical properties. We can produce various materials including carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel, with butt welding as the primary connection method, conforming to GB/T12459 and ASME B16.9 standards. The products are widely used in high-pressure process pipelines in chemical, power, and pressure vessel industries, and are also suitable for clean piping systems. We provide both stock supply and non-standard customization services, supporting small batch sampling and foreign trade export.
Key Features
The core advantage of extruded elbows lies in the integral seamless body, uniform wall thickness, and excellent mechanical properties. The hot extrusion process is suitable for large-diameter, thick-wall, high-pressure working conditions, while the cold extrusion process is suitable for small-diameter, thin-wall stainless steel. A complete range of materials is available, including carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel. The products comply with national standards and American standards, support non-standard customization, and allow specified angle, wall thickness, and material. We provide both stock and customized services with flexible delivery times.
Applications
Extruded elbows are suitable for high-pressure process pipelines in chemical industry, electric power, pressure vessels, oil and gas gathering and transportation. Stainless steel cold-extruded elbows are suitable for clean pipelines. The main purchasing groups include EPC general contracting engineering companies, pipeline construction units, petrochemical and electric power industrial and mining enterprises, pipe fitting distributors, complete equipment manufacturers, and overseas foreign trade buyers. They are not suitable for ordinary civil low-pressure water supply, drainage, and fire protection.

Procurement & Delivery
Conventional carbon steel stock items have a minimum order quantity of 1 piece; medium and large diameter, alloy steel, and stainless steel have a minimum order of 3-5 pieces; non-standard items can be sampled in small batches, and foreign trade container sharing is supported. Stock items are shipped quickly; standard batch orders take 7-12 working days; large-diameter, alloy steel, and stainless steel orders take 15-22 working days; non-standard customized orders take 20-30 working days, and urgent orders are supported. For overseas high-pressure projects, it is recommended to reserve a buffer period of more than 30 days for production plus sea freight. Packaging uses cartons, wooden cases, or wooden pallets with reinforcement, bevel protection, independent anti-rust packaging for stainless steel, and export IPPC fumigation.
Service & Support
We provide a 12-month manufacturing quality warranty, and batch records are traceable. We provide selection and technical support and handle arrival discrepancies quickly. For foreign trade, English documentation and spare parts supply are provided. Non-standard customized parts, once produced, are not returnable or exchangeable unless there is a quality issue. If you have special requirements, please contact us for confirmation.
FAQ
What is the difference between an extruded elbow and a hot-pushed elbow?
Extruded elbows are formed by die extrusion, offering excellent wall thickness uniformity and better suitability for thick-wall, high-pressure working conditions; hot-pushed elbows are suitable for mass-produced standard parts. The specific selection can be confirmed based on project requirements.
How do you choose between cold extrusion and hot extrusion?
Small-diameter thin-wall stainless steel is suitable for cold extrusion, while large-diameter thick-wall high-pressure conditions prefer hot extrusion. Please provide the specific dimensions and pressure rating, and we will assist in confirming.
What material options are available for extruded elbows?
Carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel can all be produced. The specific material can be confirmed based on project requirements.
Do you support non-standard customization?
Yes, we support customization of non-standard angles, special wall thicknesses, special materials, and end processing. Hot extrusion or cold extrusion processes can be specified, and both sample and batch orders are accepted.
What are the minimum order quantity and lead time?
Standard carbon steel in stock has a MOQ of 1 piece; medium and large diameters, alloy steel, and stainless steel have a MOQ of 3-5 pieces; non-standard items can be sampled in small batches. In-stock items ship quickly, standard batch orders take 7-12 working days, and non-standard customization takes 20-30 working days.
