For 24" Pipe diameter, the maximum bend degree will be:

8 180 19 3.14 40 24 0.0254

Safety Factor Maximum Degree Calculated = = 2 17

For various length of pipe, using the same formula maximum bend degree will be as follows : NO. 1 2 3 LENGTH OF PIPE (L) L > 12.0 11.6 < L < 12.0 L < 11.6 MAXIMUM BEND DEGREE 17o 16o 15o
