Abstract
Measurements of strain, transverse deflection, and change of radius have been taken on single unreinforced pipe bends subjected to in-plane bending moments. Specimens having three different mitre angles for each of two sizes of pipe have been used. Observations were made with different combinations of leg lengths for each specimen. Stresses and flexibilities are compared with those calculated by the formulae given in the A.S.A. Piping Code B.31.1 and the concept of equivalent smooth bend is examined. Alternative methods of assessment are considered and improved methods are suggested.
