ASME B16.5 Elbow Flange Outlet
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.
With years of expertise in producing custom forged flanges, Nutech Overseas delivers Elboflanges as per client-supplied drawings, international specifications, and project-specific piping class requirements — supplying across markets like Saudi Arabia, Germany, UAE, South Africa, Malaysia, and the USA.

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:
Used extensively in offshore platforms, FPSOs, pressure vessels, and petrochemical piping systems, Elboflanges enhance performance, safety, and installation efficiency in demanding conditions.
Elboflanges are manufactured with various facing types and connection options to suit different sealing methods, pressure classes, and piping layouts.
Available Facing Types:
Outlet Connection Options:
Choosing the correct face type and weld connection depends on the application pressure rating, fluid media, gasket type, and maintenance requirements.
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::
This makes Elboflanges a smart choice for EPC contractors, fabricators, and plant engineers aiming to reduce complexity without compromising strength or safety.
Yes, Elboflanges can be custom-manufactured to suit corrosive, abrasive, or high-temperature service environments by selecting appropriate materials and coatings.
Suitable Material Options:
Optional Surface Treatments:
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.
