Recently, Haihao Group was entrusted by an Indonesian client to manufacture and supply a batch of 16″ ASME B16.9 90° long radius (LR) elbows made from A420-WPL6 material. These high-quality pipe fittings are crucial in various industrial applications, especially in environments that require low-temperature performance.
What is ASME B16.9 A420-WPL6 90° LR Elbow?
The ASME B16.9 90° long radius elbow is a pipe fitting used to change the flow direction by 90 degrees. The “long radius” specification indicates that the elbow has a radius of curvature that is 1.5 times the nominal pipe diameter, which ensures a smoother flow and reduced pressure drop compared to short-radius elbows. The A420-WPL6 material designation refers to a low-temperature carbon steel, specifically engineered for use in low-temperature service, making it suitable for industries like oil and gas, petrochemical, and refrigeration.

Key Features of A420-WPL6 Material
Low-Temperature Toughness: A420-WPL6 steel is known for its excellent toughness and durability at low temperatures, ensuring reliability even in sub-zero environments.
High Strength and Durability: The material offers a strong and long-lasting solution for piping systems, capable of withstanding high pressure and rigorous conditions.
Weldability: A420-WPL6 has favorable welding properties, making it easier to integrate into various pipeline systems without compromising structural integrity.
Applications
ASME B16.9 90° LR elbows made from A420-WPL6 are widely used in pipelines where a change in direction is needed, and low-temperature resistance is critical. Common applications include:
Cryogenic facilities: Where materials must maintain their integrity under extremely cold conditions.
Oil and gas: Especially in environments where pipelines are exposed to varying temperatures.
Petrochemical industry: Where the handling of different chemicals at low temperatures requires reliable and resistant fittings.
