Typical microstructure found at the mid-wall
thickness of the unbent base pipe (A106 GR B)
in a 1½ D Induction Bend.

16. WALL REQUIREMENTS FOR STRENGTH
Design to pressure ASME B31 (according to Lorenz calculation)
Design to pressure DIN 2413
For the intrados of the bend: I = (4(R/Do)-1) / (4(R/Do) – 2)
For the extrados of the bend: I = (4(R/Do)+1) / (4(R/Do) + 2)
– 1.5 R/D Bend – 13.0 % = Min Extrados Wall + 26.0 % = Min Intrados Wall
– 2.0 R/D Bend – 10.5 % = Min Extrados Wall + 17.0 % = Min Intrados Wall
– 2.5 R/D Bend – 9.0 % = Min Extrados Wall + 12.5 % = Min Intrados Wall
– 3.0 R/D Bend – 7.3 % = Min Extrados Wall + 10.0 % = Min Intrados Wall
– 4.0 R/D Bend – 5.2 % = Min Extrados Wall + 7.0 % = Min Intrados Wall
– 5.0 R/D Bend – 4.7 % = Min Extrados Wall + 6.0 % = Min Intrados Wall
