Laying Out a Segment Bend (cont'd)
Developed Length Formula
Use the following formula to calculate the developed length for any bend:
developed length = 0.01744 x degree of bend x bending radius

To use the table above, find the intersection of the
appropriate row ("tens" digit of the radius) and appropri-
ate column ("ones" digit of the radius) to determine the
developed length.
Example:
Find the appropriate row:
Find the appropriate column:
Find the developed length
at that intersection:
To Locate the Center of a 90° Bend
TO BOTTOM OF PIPE
Measure and mark the length of the stub. Subtract the
radius of the bend and 1/2 of the O.D. of the pipe. Add
1/2 of the developed length.
Example:
60" stub 46" radius 90° bend
Developed length: 0.01744 x 90 x 46 = 72.2
1/2 of developed
length:
72.2 x 1/2 = 36.1
Center mark:
60 – 46 – 1.18 + 36.1 = 48.92

* The minimum and maximum number of bends are suggestions
only. Using a larger number of bends will produce a smoother
segment bend.
