Bowmen Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Hey there, I took pipe drafting years ago. I forgot the correct steps in drafting a 90 deg pipe bend in 2d (autocad)? Anyone know thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 If you're just looking to draw the fitting, I'd draw the centerline, then offset, then close the ends. Here's a quick demo for a 6" LR90 (My standard fittings are actually all blocks, but you get the idea) http://screencast.com/t/13fxRXjqTbG1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Any good piping book will have all the necessary dimensions required for drawing fittings. Another option is to skip drawing them yourself and get them as a free download or buy a set of pipe fitting symbols from any number of sources.

Jack_O'neill Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I worked at a copper tubing fabrication place for many years, we did tubing this way. Your mileage may vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know thanks Russ Steffy made a good program for pipe, flanges and elbows. It will draw regular and segmented elbows. http://www.spaug.org/LISP_Index01.Html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Short radius elbows - the center line radius will be 1.0 x nominal dia of pipe. Long radius elbows - the center line radius will be 1.5 x nominal dia of pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
