Pipefitting
MEASURING LENGTH OF PIPE IN BENDS
The length of pipe (arc) in any bend depends on the following: (A) Number of degrees in angle of bend (B) Length of bending radius The length of arc in a pipe bend is measured along the centerline of the pipe. The radius is also measured as extending to the centerline. Use the formula below to calculate arc length. Length of Arc = No. of Degrees X .0175 X Radius of Bend
