The formula for a long radius elbow, commonly used in piping systems, is based on the radius of curvature. The long radius elbow typically has a radius that is 1.5 times the nominal pipe diameter (D), expressed as:
[ R = 1.5D ]
where ( R ) is the radius of the elbow. This design helps to minimize pressure loss and turbulence in fluid flow compared to short radius elbows.

Do you have a formula for pipe cut piece to 90 degree elbow?
Yes, to calculate the length of pipe needed for a 90-degree elbow, you can use the formula: Length = (Distance from the center of the elbow to the center of the next fitting) - (Radius of the elbow). The radius is typically specified by the elbow type (e.g., short or long radius). Additionally, consider any allowances for fitting tolerances when cutting the pipe.

Surface area of elbow?
The formula for the surface area of an elbow (or 90° angle) is (pi^2 * (radius2^2 - radius1^2) ) / 4. Where pi = 3.14159, radius 2 = the radius from the center to the outside, and radius 1 = the radius from the center to the inside.
What is the difference between long radius and short radius bend in oil and gas pipes?
The difference between the 2 is length and curvature. A short radius elbow offers a tighter turn than the long radius. The short radius elbow is cheaper and will fit into a tighter space.

What is the difference between long radius 90 degree elbow and short radius 90 degree elbow?
The primary difference between a long radius (LR) and a short radius (SR) 90-degree elbow lies in the curvature and the radius of the bend. A long radius elbow has a center-to-end distance that is greater, typically 1.5 times the pipe diameter, allowing for a smoother flow of fluid and reduced turbulence. In contrast, a short radius elbow has a tighter bend, with a center-to-end distance that is equal to the pipe diameter, which can lead to increased pressure drop and turbulence in the flow. These characteristics make long radius elbows more suitable for applications where minimizing flow resistance is critical.
