Bending Radius for steel Pipe

02/06/2009 6:13 AM

an application in my industry calls for 90 degree bend of 1" sch.80 pipe &

as we know a steel pipe can be bent for 90 degree,but wht is the minimum radius need to be maintained at the bend and why is it so, is there any stand or formula govening that minimum radius at bend??

5 times the outside diameter is pretty common

It depends on the pressure drop allowed from a fluid perspective.

And from a code perspective it depends on material, thickness, type of bending performed (hot/cold), maximum fiber elongation, and ultimately any heat treatment required.

For reference please see Sec. 332 of ASME B31.3

If your pipe will operate to belonging to ASME B31.4 (liquid) or ASME B31.8 (gas), there mention allowable radius. From that value you can draw or calculate, to get allowable degree.

Thanks
