What is the difference between long radius and short radius elbow?
Elbows are again classified as long radius or short radius elbows. The difference between them is the length and curvature. A short radius elbow will be giving the piping a sharper turn than a long radius elbow. In a long radius elbow, the radius of curvature is 1.5 times the nominal diameter.Aug 30, 2021
