What Is a 90° Short Bend?
A 90° Short Bend is a sanitary elbow fitting with a compact bend radius that redirects the pipeline by 90 degrees.
Compared with a long-radius 90° elbow, the short bend requires less installation space, making it useful for compact equipment connections and tightly arranged sanitary piping systems.
304 Stainless Steel
SS304 provides good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength for general sanitary applications. It is commonly used in:
- Food processing
- Beverage production
- Dairy equipment
- Brewing systems
- General hygienic piping
316L Stainless Steel
SS316L offers enhanced corrosion resistance and is commonly selected for more demanding sanitary environments.
Typical applications include:
- Pharmaceutical processing
- Biotechnology
- Chemical processing
- High-purity applications
- Hygienic process equipment
