Sanitary Stainless Steel Elbow
Weld end elbows with a polished bore, for the permanent sections of a hygienic line.
Overview
What This Pump Does
Sanitary stainless steel elbows in SS304 or SS316L, models SK-EB001, SK-EB002 and SK-EB005, in long and short radius forms for the DN15 to DN200 range.
Made to DIN, SMS, 3A, ISO and IDF standards with mirror polish to Ra below 0.5 um or matt polish, in AISI 304 and AISI 316L material for dairy, beer, food, beverage, pharmacy and biotechnology duty.
| Standard | DIN, SMS, 3A, ISO, IDF |
|---|---|
| Connection Type | Weld, Clamp, Thread |
| Polish | Mirror Polish Ra<0.5um or Matt Polish |
| Application | Dairy, beer, food, beverage, pharmacy, biotechnology, etc |
Key Benefits
Bends That Keep The Bore Clean
Polished Through The Bend
Internal finish continues through the radius, which is where a rough bend collects product.
Radius Options
Different radii to suit tight layouts or smooth flow requirements.
Weld End Construction
For permanent sections where a clamp joint is not needed.
Two Material Grades
AISI 304 or AISI 316L depending on product and cleaning chemistry.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
Fixed Line Routing
Permanent process and utility runs inside a plant.
Vessel Connections
Tight bends into and out of vessel nozzles.
Skid Pipework
Compact routing on fabricated skids.
Who It Is For
- Pipework contractors
- Skid fabricators
- Dairies breweries and food plants
- Pharmaceutical installers
Problems It Solves
Site bent tube deforms
A formed and polished elbow keeps the bore round where a site bend can flatten it.
Rough internal surfaces
Factory polishing through the bend gives a finish site work rarely matches.
Mixed standards
Elbows supplied in the same standard as the rest of the fittings keep the bore consistent.

Use Guide
Installing Welded Elbows
Confirm Radius
A tighter radius saves space but adds pressure drop. Decide before the pipe is cut.
Match The Tube
Outside diameter and wall thickness must match so the bore stays continuous.
Purge And Dress
Back purge the weld and dress it so the internal surface stays clean.
Plan Drainage
Arrange bends so the line drains rather than forming low points.
