Pipe elbows are used to be installed between two lengths of pipe or tube allowing a change of direction,usually these elbows distinguished by connection ends.

Elbows are categorized based on various design features as below:
Long Radius (LR) Elbow is also called LR elbow – means the radius is 1.5 times the pipe diameter
L/R 45°Elbow: Long radius 45 degree elbow changes the direction by 45 degrees.
L/R 90°Elbow: Long radius 90 degree elbow changes the direction by 90 degrees.
L/R 180°Elbow: Long Radius 180 degree return bend allows complete reversal of flow.
Short Radius (SR) Elbow is also called SR elbow, – means the radius is 1.0 times the pipe diameter
Short radiu 45°Elbow: Short radius 45° elbow changes the direction by 45 degrees.
Short radius 90°Elbow: Short Radius 90° elbow is same as LR90 except for the measurement between end of elbow to center line is 1 x NPS.
Short radius 180° Elbow: Short Radius 180° return bend allows complete reversal of flow
