The offset is the preset distance that is marked on the shoe of the bender. This preset mark allows for shrink back when bending. It allows you to make a perfect bend if a conduit run comes to a wall and has to go up the wall. It takes into account the outside diameter of the conduit and adds it to the shrink back of the bend to make the conduit fit exactly up against the 90 degree angle of the wall.

Back set for all conduit sizes is not the same. The greater the diameter of the conduit the length of back set increases. Without the diameter size of the conduit, an answer can not be given.
The 'Stub-up', or 90º bend, Back to Back Bends, Three Bend Saddles, and offset bends.
When offsetting conduit around an I-beam, a two-bend offset is typically used. This method involves making two bends in the conduit to create a gradual change in direction, allowing the conduit to clear the I-beam without creating sharp angles that could compromise the integrity of the installation. The bends are usually made at equal angles, ensuring a smooth transition.
op-amp can be nulled using offset voltage about +/- 1.5 mv to offset pins
When installing surface mounted cable the best method of ensuring that it is kept straight is by using more fasteners that is required by the electrical code. Another way is to install it into a conduit chase. The conduit can be fastened to the building using a level to keep it straight. The cable can then be pulled into the conduit.
