Problem with AS4041 formula compared to ASME B31.3 formula.

The intrados should get thicker and the extrados thinner.
As thickness is "lost"during the bending process, it would be normal
to multiply the required wall thickness at the extrados by a factor of
1.1 to 1.125 dependent upon how "tight"the bend radius is. The resulting
value will give the nominal thickness of pipe required for bending.

The resulting
