explain centerline radius
« 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.

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.
