The ASME B16.11 Forged Carbon Steel Socket Weld Elbow is a high-pressure fitting designed for small-bore piping systems (typically $\le$ 2"). Unlike butt-weld elbows, the pipe is inserted into a recessed "socket" before welding, ensuring easy alignment and high structural strength. Forged from ASTM A105, these elbows are rated for 3000#, 6000#, or 9000# service. They are essential for hydraulic lines, steam distribution, and chemical plants where leak-proof, permanent joints are required in confined spaces
