ASTM A513 Carbon Steel Mechanical Tubing
The ASTM A513 specification covers electric-resistance-welded carbon steel tubing for use as mechanical and ornamental tubing.
Double Socket Elbows are pipe fittings used in piping systems to change flow direction. They feature socket ends (i.e., "bell mouths") on both sides, enabling sealed connections by inserting pipes or fittings. Common materials include cast iron, PVC, and stainless steel. Based on bending angles, they are classified as:
Compared to single socket elbows (one socket end and one spigot end), the double-socket design offers more flexible installation without additional adapters. Versus flanged elbows, socket connections save space and reduce costs, though their pressure rating typically does not exceed 1.6 MPa
