90° Socket Weld Elbow Configuration
A socket weld 90-degree elbow changes the direction of a piping run by 90 degrees while using socket-style weld connections at both ends.
The adjoining pipe is inserted into each fitting socket before the connection is welded in place.
Confirm that the piping layout specifically requires a 90° socket-weld elbow before fabrication or installation.
ASC Figure S3716E Identification
The supplied SCI Heavy Pattern 150# Stainless Fittings catalog identifies the 150# Cast 316 Stainless Socket Weld 90° Elbow as Figure S3716E.
The corresponding 304 stainless steel version is identified separately as Figure S3714E.

Construction Details
This fitting uses cast 316 stainless steel construction.
The ASC / SCI Heavy Pattern stainless fitting information identifies 316 stainless castings as conforming to ASTM A351 ACI Grade CF8M.
The cast fitting body incorporates socket-weld openings at both ends to provide a permanent welded 90-degree directional connection.
316 Stainless Steel
This product is the 316 stainless steel version of the ASC / SCI 150# cast socket-weld 90° elbow family.
The 316 stainless casting designation is identified as ASTM A351 ACI Grade CF8M.
Confirm compatibility between the fitting material, adjoining pipe, process media, welding procedure, and overall system requirements before installation.
Socket Weld Connections
The fitting uses socket-weld connections rather than threaded or butt-weld ends.
The adjoining pipe is inserted into the fitting socket before the joint is welded around the connection.
Proper pipe preparation, insertion, alignment, and welding procedures should be followed for the intended piping system.

- No socket-weld joint
- Requires compatible mating threads
- Different installation method
- Should not be substituted without confirming system requirements
Cast Socket Weld vs. Butt-Weld Elbow
Cast Socket Weld Elbow
- Cast fitting construction
- Pipe inserts into socket ends
- Weld is made around the socket connection
- 150# fitting family
- ASC / SCI Figure S3716E
Butt-Weld Elbow
- Pipe and fitting ends meet directly
- Uses a butt-weld joint

SCI Stainless Weld Catalog Reference
The supplied SCI Stainless Weld Fittings Catalog is included as an additional stainless fitting reference.
The catalog states that SCI stainless weld fittings conform to ASTM A403 Grade 304/304L & 316/316L, ASTM A960, and MSS SP-43, with dimensions conforming to ASME B16.9 except wall thickness and MSS SP-43.
Because this product is a cast socket-weld elbow, use the supplied ASC 150# Stainless Socket Weld information and SCI Heavy Pattern catalog as the more product-specific references for Figure S3716E.
Pipe Dimensions & Wall Thickness Reference
The supplied GetPipe.com Common Diameters and Wall Thicknesses PDF is included as a general adjoining-pipe reference.
Use it when checking nominal pipe size, outside diameter, and schedule-related wall-thickness information for compatible piping.
The pipe chart should not be interpreted as providing this fitting's socket depth, center-to-end dimension, overall dimensions, or fitting weight.
Applications
The 150# Cast Stainless Socket Weld 90 Elbow 316 is intended for compatible piping systems requiring a 90-degree directional change using welded socket connections.
Final suitability should be confirmed against 316 stainless steel material requirements, connection style, adjoining pipe, welding requirements, operating conditions, process media, and overall system design.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm that the installation requires a 150#, 316 stainless steel, 90° socket-weld elbow.
- Verify compatibility between both fitting sockets and the adjoining pipe.
- Confirm that 316 stainless steel is suitable for the intended system and process media.
- Use appropriate pipe preparation, insertion, alignment, and welding procedures.
- Review the supplied ASC / SCI socket-weld information as the product-specific reference, with the stainless weld catalog and pipe chart used as supporting references.

Use the supplied ASC 150# Stainless Socket Weld information to confirm the Figure S3716E 316 stainless steel, 150#, socket-weld 90° elbow configuration. The SCI Stainless Weld Fittings catalog and pipe chart are also included as supporting stainless fitting and adjoining-pipe references.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ASC / SCI figure identifies this 316 socket-weld elbow?
The supplied SCI Heavy Pattern catalog identifies the 150# Cast 316 Stainless Socket Weld 90° Elbow as Figure S3716E.
What material is this fitting?
This product is identified as cast 316 stainless steel.
What ASTM casting grade applies to the 316 version?

What angle does this elbow provide?
The fitting provides a 90-degree directional change.
What connection style does this fitting use?
The fitting uses socket-weld connections.
How does a socket-weld connection work?
The adjoining pipe is inserted into the fitting socket and the joint is then welded in place.
Is this a threaded fitting?
No. This product uses socket-weld connections rather than threaded ends.
What is the corresponding 304 stainless version?
The corresponding 304 stainless steel 90° socket-weld elbow is Figure S3714E.
How does 316 differ from the 304 version?
The primary distinction within this product family is the stainless steel material grade. The 316 version uses the S3716E designation and CF8M casting grade, while the 304 version uses S3714E and CF8.
How is this different from a butt-weld elbow?
A socket-weld elbow receives the pipe inside fitting sockets, while a butt-weld elbow joins the pipe and fitting ends directly through butt-weld joints.
Are size and dimensional tables included on this page?
No. Size, part-number, packing, weight, and dimensional tables are not included unless specifically requested.
Which supplied PDF is the most product-specific?
The ASC 150# Stainless Socket Weld information and SCI Heavy Pattern catalog are the most product-specific references for Figure S3716E.
What is the SCI Stainless Weld Fittings Catalog used for here?
It is included as an additional stainless fitting reference. Its primary product family is stainless butt-weld fittings rather than this cast socket-weld fitting.
What does the Pipe Dimensions and Wall Thickness PDF provide?
It provides general adjoining-pipe reference information for nominal pipe size, outside diameter, and schedule-related wall thickness.
What should I verify before installation?
Confirm 316 stainless material, 150# configuration, 90° angle, socket-weld compatibility, adjoining pipe, fitting orientation, and the appropriate welding procedure.
