Title: explain centerline radius
Post by: 7808 on April 15, 2009, 12:32:19 PM

does a 1.5" pipe bend with a 2.25" CLR  means its a tighter bend then the same pipe with a 3" CLR?   or am i wrong, or CLR has nothing to do with how "tight" the bend is? 

im trying to pick out some 1.5" mild steel bends on columbia river's site but the fuckin pics all look like the same bend.

clr is the yellow line down a road.

the white lines are the outside of the pipe

now, go bend the road into a 180

That should be someones sig.

Centerline radius is easiest remembered as half the distance between the center of the legs of a ubend.

Ie: 6" radius ubend, 12" center to center.
