The difference in performance between LR and SR elbows
LR Elbow: Long radius elbow means that the curvature radius of the elbow is 1.5 times the diameter of the pipe.
SR Elbow: Short radius elbow means that the curvature radius of the elbow is equal to the diameter of the pipe.
The wear degree of long radius elbow is less than that of short radius elbow, the corrosion force is greatly reduced, and the resistance is also small, which is obviously better than that of short radius elbow. Where the pressure is high or the flow rate is high, a long radius will be used, and a larger radius elbow will be used when the resistance requirements of the solid conveying pipeline are strict. The short radius is generally used in low pressure fluids or where the elbow is limited in installation.
Generally, long radius elbows are commonly used by default, and short radius elbows are rarely used. If there are no conditions or not specified in the contract, the long radius elbow is preferred.
