Description
The 88° Elbow is an industrial pipe fitting designed to redirect fluid flow at an approximately right-angle transition within process piping systems. This configuration allows efficient routing adjustments while maintaining optimal flow characteristics and system performance.
Constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the 88° elbow provides durability and hygienic compatibility for demanding industrial environments. Its precision angle enables accurate alignment in complex piping layouts where standard 90° fittings may require fine adjustment.
Main Features of the 88° Elbow
- Precise flow redirection: near 90-degree directional change.
- Optimized fluid dynamics: minimizes pressure loss.
- High corrosion resistance: stainless steel construction.
- Sanitary compatibility: ideal for hygienic industries.
- Robust mechanical strength: suitable for industrial systems.
- Accurate system alignment: improves piping installation flexibility.
