What is a carbon steel elbow 3/4 inch?
A carbon steel elbow turns a steel pipe line, usually through 90 degrees. It is made in threaded and butt weld types for steam, oil, air and process service.
Carbon steel is strong and tolerates high temperatures. Therefore, it is the standard material for steam and fuel lines, protected by paint or insulation against rust.
