What does “off” mean in this sentence?

The assumed straight length of the inlet piping to T1 is 6 m, plus 2 long-radius bends. Thank you! This post was last edited by maleate on 2008-12-14 09:30.]
There’s also an option called Off: Cut – Diameter = xxxx%; Spacing = xxx mm. The value for No. Off is 9. Is this red-colored ‘Off’ some kind of abbreviation??
I think it means “the outside side”
The outside side. I translate the whole sentence as follows: The inlet pipe at the T1 port consists of two pipes, with the long radial length on their outer sides assumed to be 6 meters.
:Is it six meters plus two large outer radii; or, six meters in total including those two large radii??
The assumed straight length of the inlet piping to T1 is 6 m, plus 2 long-radius bends. The straight section of the inlet pipeline leading to T1 is assumed to be 6 meters long, with two long-radius elbows; Number of offsets = 9. It should be Number offset = 9 – 9 baffle plates
:o I checked, and “offset” doesn’t mean baffle; it means “branch pipe”
The assumed straight length of the inlet piping to T1 is 6 m, plus 2 long-radius bends. The term \"off\" doesn’t seem to have any meaning here. Could the poster post a screenshot? Once the total length can be calculated, it will become clear what \"off\" refers to.
off-raius shall be an integral word
Reply to everyone: The term \"offset\" originally means translation, but here it refers to the spacing between baffle plates – there is one offset between every two plates. I had encountered this before but didn’t think about it carefully; in this case, there would be 10 baffle plates and 9 offsets. As for the first \"off\", it means to leave; distance is sufficient, but it doesn’t need to be translated.
Regarding the issue on the first floor, it shouldn’t be an explanation of \"offset\"; in \"2 off…bends\", the number 2 modifies \"bends\", not \"offset\". Personally, I tend to think it means on the outside, but there is no evidence, so it’s hard to say whether the two uses of \"off\" are identical.
