Recommended Posts

Hi,

Simple question, I tried to draw long 48" steel pipe sweep in autocad, i could not find any reference sheet for standard size for long pipe sweep. Does anyone have any to share for ref, do i just draw a quarter of circle with R of 48" and offset 4" each side?? Just want to make sure i did it right. Thanks

Pipe Dia is 8"

R is 48"

Remember of course that 8" is just the nominal size of the pipe.

 

This is Ok for diagrams but if you are going to make any bespoke support brackets, etc. or need a hole through a wall then you need to find the actual pipe O/Dia.

 

As you are in the USA I asume you are using ANSI / ASME standards so the following chart may help.

You will see from that that an 8" nominial pipe is actually 8.625" O/Dia.

1 or 1.5 x D thats for standard bends, you can have anything up to 6 x D, there is info out there e,g
