If bending low carbon steel pipe to 90 (right angle) you need to add another 5 for it to spring back.
you put the green in the pipe

Can you measure the distance from the corner to either end of the pipe ? The length of the pipe is (1.414) times that distance.
right angles (90 degrees)

When bending a pipe there are many different ways to do it. If you bend the pipe too much it can break and leak. So you need to make sure when bending pipe that you have the correct angle you want and don't over bend it.
You can calculate the combined effect of bending and torsional stress on a rotating pipe using the outside diameter. The angle of rotation and the shearing stress should also be considered.
You should use conduit bends when you want to bend a pipe to any angle, either 90 or 30 degree angles. To achieve this, you need to master the maths formulas for bending conduit.

You can check the links to the right, they might help you in finding some information on pipe bending and offsets.
pipe bending is a method to enhance the fabrication capabilities of pipe work and plumbing fixtures
By bending it
Pipe bending is occasionally used in plumbing work but mostly it is used in hydraulic applications. It is also used in automotive arenas where space is limited.
This depends on the thickness of the pipe in question. When bending tubing and pipe one wants to keep the inner diameter consistent through the bend. That's what tube bending kits are designed to do. Exhaust pipes ( wich are thin ) are bent in the same fashion as tubes, only the machines are larger. You can see this if you visit a local muffler shop. If the pipe is thick walled the pipe must be heated to bend it, and then annealed. This process utilizes heavy hydraulic driven machinery. Mandrel bending is a system wich uses two heavy wheels the pipe is fed through. Sand bending is a shade tree mechanics technique where the pipe is packed with dry sand and then heated and bent by hand.
A pipe bending machine is used in a factory to shape large pieces of metal for use in constructing things. This is a good way to get parts made for large projects.
It is a coiled spring that is put inside a copper pipe so that it can be bent without kinking the pipe.
