How to Find Elbow Center of Pipe?
If the elbows in your pneumatic conveying system need to be replaced due to wear or abrasion or if you’re designing a new layout for your system, correctly measuring your existing elbows to ensure you order the right size is key. For standard degrees of pipe elbows such as 45° pipe elbows and 90°pipe elbows , elbow center to end dimensions are available in standard pipe charts. But many times, custom elbow angles are required at site which should be cut from standard 45° or 90° elbows. The formula for calculating the center to end distance of such elbows is as follows: Elbow length in mm = Tan(Elbow Angle/2)Elbow Radius in mm For 90° Long Radius elbows, the center to end dimension given in dimension tables of ASME B16.9 is the same as the radius of the elbow. This is because Tan(90/2) i.e. Tan 45 is 1. Normally custom elbow angles from 45 degree to 90 are cut from 90 degrees standard elbow. But for custom elbow...
