Questions about 90-degree elbows
Thread Content
In the design work, when do those locations have 1.0 times elbows? 1.5 times is commonly used.
I haven’t encountered this problem yet; does anyone know how to deal with it?
The choice between a 1.5 or 1 elbow depends mainly on the space available in the pipeline; if it’s possible to make the turn, use the one with a diameter of 1 time that of the pipe – that’s what should be done
Generally, elbows with a bending radius of 1.5Dw are preferred, as this reduces pipeline resistance; if space is limited, elbows with a minimum bending radius of 1.0Dw should be used.

Long-radius elbows (1.5D) are the most commonly used, while short-radius (1D) elbows (SHORT RADIUS ELBOWS) are employed in compact spaces with limited area.
