6.1 Bend Definition
• Bends are defined by the element entering the bend and the
element leaving the bend.
• The input for the element leaving the bend must follow the
element entering the bend
• Bend radius defaults to 1 1/2 times the pipe nominal diameter
(long radius), but may bechanged to any other value
• The From point on the element is located at the 0-degree
point of the bend
• If the total length of the element as specified in the DX, DY,
and DZ fields is equal to:
R tan ( / 2)

6.4 Mitered Bends

1. Closely spaced * Number of Cuts (N)

2. Widely spaced * Equivalent radius (Req)

or miter spacing (S)

Req = S / [ 2 tan( ) ]  =/2N

Length of miter segment at crotch

B = S [ 1 - ro / Req ]
