Α max = l 60 / (π d) (4b) Bending PE Pipe Calculator 2 to calculate the maximum angle at minimum radius as 2 to calculate maximum deflection for minimum radius toĮq. L = length of pipe from fixed position (m, in)Įq. In practice a rope or chain may be tied to the end of the pipe and the end is pulled until deflection is achieved.ĭeflection for a given radius and length of deflecting pipe can be calculated as The radius of the bending pipe can be hard to measure in field.

The minimum bending radius for 300 mm (0.3 m) PE pipe during installation can be estimated to For pressurized pipe the bending radius should not be less thanįor pipe without pressure - or for pressure pipes during installation - the bending radius should not be less than
