ELBOW PIPE FITTINGS
FITTING:
A fitting is used in pipe and plumbing systems to connect straight pipe or tubing sections, to
adapt to different sizes or shapes.
ELBOW:
An elbow is a pipe fitting installed between two lengths of pipe or tubing to allow a change of
direction, usually a 90 or 45 angle.
Elbows are categorized based on various design features as below:
90 Degree Elbow where change in direction required is 90
45 Degree Elbow where change in direction required is 45


MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF ELBOW COPPER PIPE FITTINGS STEP BY
STEP:
1-Elbows are formed from the sheets of copper which is 99.9% copper. Copper is ductile metal
having melting point 1984 degree Fahrenheit. Due to highly ductile metal machinability of
copper is easy. Hence, it is used in many applications. As copper is a very malleable metal so it
can be bent and given any shape without breaking and cracking

2- Copper sheets is lowered into furnance whose temperature is kept over 1800 degree
Fahrenheit. copper is melted into liquid form.



3-This liquid molten metal flows into a second furnance which has cylindrical molds which draw
the molten metal up.As it solidifies, it takes the shape of solid copper rod which is drawn up
from the mold.

4- Copper rod is flexible enough to pass them through a series of rollers. Ductile nature of
copper allows it to be used in the form of thin wires. We can roll and draw 4 inches thick copper
into copper wire of diameter less than human hair. So practically we can give copper any form
you want.

5-After passing through the rollers, the copper rod wounds around the spindle in spiral shape for
further processing .

6-The copper coil passed through a machine which uncoils the copper and cut in a smaller
portions.


7-The tool shown below pushes the copper rod into a cylindrical die and shaped into tubing.The
punch pushes the copper rod along the die and copper rod is converted into a hollow tube .

8-This machine is the bending machine which bends the tube along the edge over a die of desired
shape.The tube bends around the die and a desired shape is formed.



9-A spinning cutter the carves bevels onto the rim.This bevel edge allows elbow to slide through
the pipes easily.

10-After the bending operation is completed, secondary operations such as finishing, cleaning
and polishing occurs.
