Approximate weight of a butt welding elbow can be calculated based on its its radius, wall thickness and angle. Please note that actual weight of a elbow from a particular manufacturer may vary depending on manufacturing process. Dimensional standards like ASME B16.9 do not provide weights of butt welding fittings.
Weight of a Butt Weld elbow as per ASME B16.9 is calculated as per following formula :
Where :
- W = Weight in Kg
- F = Center to End (mm)
- D = Outside Diameter (mm)
- T = Wall Thickness (mm)
- θ = Angle
