The radius of a 5D bend is calculated by multiplying the outside diameter of the pipe by 5.
Here's a breakdown:
-
5D Bend Definition: A "5D bend" refers to a pipe bend where the bending radius is 5 times the pipe's nominal or outside diameter.
-
Calculation:
Radius of Bend = 5 * (Outside Diameter of Pipe)
-
Example:
If you have a pipe with an outside diameter of 10 inches:
Radius of the 5D bend = 5 * 10 inches = 50 inches
Therefore, the radius of the centerline of the 5D bend would be 50 inches in this example.
