ASME B16.5 Elboflange: Dimensions | Specifications | Material Grade | Standards | About Elbow Outlet Flanges | All Product Types

Elboflanges are specially designed forged fittings that provide a 90° branch connection directly from a pipe elbow or bend. They integrate the functionality of an elbow, a weld outlet (weldolet), and a flange into a single, space-saving component, making them highly efficient in complex or compact piping layouts. This combination eliminates multiple joints and significantly reduces the potential for misalignment or leakage.

In high-pressure and high-vibration systems, Elboflanges offer superior fatigue resistance and better flow characteristics compared to traditional outlet fittings. Their use ensures tight radius piping transitions, especially in offshore modules, refineries, petrochemical plants, and pressure vessels where both elbow and flange alignment must be precise.

These fittings are available in both standard bore and reducing bore types, depending on the branch pipe size. Offered in ASME B16.5 pressure classes ranging from 150 to 2500, and sizes from ½″ NB to 24″ NB, Elboflanges are manufactured with high precision using CNC-controlled forging and machining systems.

Depending on the piping design, the outlet can be butt weld or socket weld, while the facing type can be Raised Face (RF) or Ring Type Joint (RTJ). All Elboflanges undergo strict dimensional verification, surface finish checks, hydrostatic testing, and optional NDE like UT or MPI.

Elboflanges are also suitable for applications involving aggressive fluids or gases, provided appropriate materials like Stainless Steel, Duplex, Super Duplex, Alloy 625, or Incoloy 825 are used. Nutech also provides complete MTC documentation with EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2, along with compliance to NACE MR0175 and PED 2014/68/EU directives.

International Flange Standards We Manufacture & Supply

What is an Elboflange and why is it preferred for 90° branch outlets in high-pressure piping systems?

An Elboflange is a custom-forged component that integrates a 90-degree elbow, a branch outlet, and a flange face into a single fitting. It is specifically engineered for use in piping systems where a branch connection is required directly from an elbow — eliminating the need for a separate elbow, weldolet, and flange.

Why Elboflanges Are Preferred:

  • Space-Saving Design: Ideal for compact plant layouts or skid-mounted modules
  • Fewer Welds: Reduces welding time and NDT inspection requirements
  • Improved Structural Strength: Fewer stress concentration points
  • Precise Alignment: Maintains centerline and flow direction accuracy
  • Leak Reduction: Fewer joints mean fewer leak paths
  • Compatible with High-Pressure Classes: Suitable for Class 150 to 2500 services

Used extensively in offshore platforms, FPSOs, pressure vessels, and petrochemical piping systems, Elboflanges enhance performance, safety, and installation efficiency in demanding conditions.

What are the available facing types and connection options for Elboflanges?

Elboflanges are manufactured with various facing types and connection options to suit different sealing methods, pressure classes, and piping layouts.

Available Facing Types:

  1. Raised Face (RF) – Most commonly used; provides good sealing with standard gaskets
  2. Ring Type Joint (RTJ) – Ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature service where metal-to-metal sealing is required

Outlet Connection Options:

  • Butt Weld – Standard option for permanent, strong connections
  • Socket Weld – Available on request for smaller sizes and low to medium-pressure systems
  • Custom Machined End – For specialty piping class or client-specific requirements

Choosing the correct face type and weld connection depends on the application pressure rating, fluid media, gasket type, and maintenance requirements.

How do Elboflanges improve efficiency in high-pressure piping fabrication?

Elboflanges significantly enhance fabrication speed, system reliability, and overall project cost-efficiency in complex industrial piping setups. By combining an elbow, a branch outlet, and a flange into one precision-forged unit, they eliminate multiple fabrication steps.

Key Efficiency Benefits::

  • Reduces Weld Joints: Fewer welds mean lower installation time and less non-destructive testing (NDT)
  • Simplifies Pipe Layout: Replaces three components with one — perfect for skid-based and modular installations
  • Enhances Integrity: Minimizes misalignment and leak risks due to better dimensional control
  • Lowers Inspection & QC Time: With fewer fabrication points, QA/QC becomes faster and more reliable
  • Saves Space: Compact design is ideal for offshore platforms, refineries, and shipbuilding yards

This makes Elboflanges a smart choice for EPC contractors, fabricators, and plant engineers aiming to reduce complexity without compromising strength or safety.

Are Elboflanges suitable for corrosive or high-temperature fluid applications?

Yes, Elboflanges can be custom-manufactured to suit corrosive, abrasive, or high-temperature service environments by selecting appropriate materials and coatings.

Suitable Material Options:

  1. Stainless Steel (304, 316, 321) – General corrosion resistance
  2. Duplex & Super Duplex (UNS S31803 / S32750) – High strength and chloride resistance
  3. Nickel Alloys (Inconel 625, Incoloy 825, Monel 400) – Excellent for acidic and high-temperature fluids
  4. Alloy Steel (A182 F11, F22, F91) – Suitable for elevated pressure and temperature applications

Optional Surface Treatments:

  1. PTFE lining, fusion bonded epoxy, or special coatings for enhanced chemical protection
  2. NACE MR0175 compliance for sour service environments (oil & gas, offshore)

With the right grade selection and manufacturing control, Elboflanges can perform safely and reliably in aggressive process media, superheated steam, chloride environments, and acidic or alkaline fluids.
