how to calculate the elbow radius or elbow length
1.414. x offset- Straight of 45's
If radius is short it is 1 times pipe diameter. If it is a long radius it is 1.5 times nominal pipe diameter.
1/2 tan(dia)1.5
1 1/2 times the nominal pipe size

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.
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.
Radius=C=1.5*NPS nps=nominal pipe size
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

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.
