Miter Fabrication Formulas for Pipes

The document provides formulas to calculate the dimensions needed to fabricate a miter elbow from pipe. It explains that miters can be used instead of standard elbows for larger pipes where pressure drop is not critical. The formulas give the distances from the pipe end that cut lines should be made, as well as the offset distance of the cuts. An example calculation is shown for a 10-inch 90-degree miter elbow with the same radius as a standard elbow.

Miter Fabrication From Pipe

In the gure above, dotted lines are where the pipe should be cut. Each dotted cut line has a vertical reference line marked at following distances
from pipe end.

1. L2 : Distance of rst and last reference line from pipe ends.


2. L1 : Distance between reference lines.
3. Cut Back : Offset distance of cut lines from reference lines at the top and bottom of pipe.

Formulas to calculate above distances

   

   

   

Where : 

1. D : Required elbow degrees.


2. N : Numer of cuts.
3. E : Elbow center radius required.
4. POD : Pipe Outside Diameter.

Sample Miter Calculation

Consider we want to create 90 degree elbow of 10″ size with elbow center radius same as standard elbow i.e. 381 mm.

So we have input values as : 

1. D = 90 mm : Required Elbow Degree


2. N = 4 : Number of cuts
3. E = 381 mm : Standard Elbow Radius
4. POD = 273 mm : Pipe Outside Diameter

   

L1 = 151.6 mm

   

L2 = 75.8 mm

   

Cutback = 27.15 mm
