how to calculate the elbow radius or elbow length
Formula for calculating center to end distance of such elbows is as follows: For 90° Long Radius elbows, center to end dimension given in dimension tables of ASME B16.9 is same as radius of elbow. This is because Tan (90/2) i.e. Tan 45 is 1. Normally custom elbow angles from 45 degree to 90 are cut from 90 degree standard elbow. If that's what you were asking about...
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
Short Radius 90 degree elbows are the same as pipe size.... Long Radius 90's are pipe size times 1.5.... so a 6" (SR) elbow is 6"... a 6" (LR) elbow would be 9"

1/2 tan(dia)1.5
1 1/2 times the nominal pipe size
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.

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.
It depends where the pipe is heading, flow is better in along radius, but sometimes there is no room for it.
