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.
In piping systems, long radius elbows (LRE) and short radius elbows (SRE) are used to change the direction of fluid flow. Long radius elbows have a centerline radius that is greater than the pipe diameter, resulting in less turbulence and pressure drop, making them suitable for high-flow applications. Short radius elbows have a tighter bend and are used in situations where space is limited, but they can cause more turbulence and pressure loss. The choice between the two depends on the specific requirements of the system, including space constraints and flow characteristics.
It depends where the pipe is heading, flow is better in along radius, but sometimes there is no room for it.
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.
If your elbow is a short radius it is 1 times your nominal pipe diameter. If it is a long radius it is 1 1/2 times your nominal pipe diameter.show me the exact pattern of long radius
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.

Same thing consider the following Long turn ell ( Sweep) regular sweep and short sweep = 1/4 bend all are 90 degree fittings

No, the radius is a long bone. It is one of the two bones in the forearm, between the elbow and the wrist. Short bones are typically found in the wrists and ankles.
If radius is short it is 1 times pipe diameter. If it is a long radius it is 1.5 times nominal pipe diameter.

Short wavelength waves bend less than long wavelength waves when they pass through a medium because they have higher frequencies and shorter distances between wave crests. This phenomenon is known as refraction.
In the area of industrial pipe fittings: Long radius 90 deg elbow has a take off dimension of one and one half times the nominal diameter of the pipe. Ex-4 inch pipe has an actual diameter of 4.5, for the elbow the take off dimension would be 4"*1.5=6". The short radius elbow take off dimension is the same as the nominal size, 4". To add to the point, a short radius elbow can be used typically where space is a constraint. Hence fluid flow is also restricted in this case unlike in case using of Long Elbow.
The I has a long I sound, as in gripe and find.
Vesta is round and its radius is only one number unlike other asteroids which have more of an oblong shape -like a potato- and so their radius is expressed for the long side and the short side.
