For ISO 14692 2017, defines the wall thickness, tbend, of the bend.

Typical units (depending on your unit system):

  • in

  • mm

  • cm

The code uses Tbend to calculate the average wall thickness (tb) of the reference laminate:

tb = (2b/a)(tbend + toverlay) + [1-(2b/a)]tbend

where a is the bend angle. For more information, see Angle 1, 2, 3.

  • If you do not define Tbend, then the software uses the pipe wall thickness, Wt. For more information, see Wt/Sch.

  • For information on bend parameters, see Figure B.1 and Figure B.2, section B.2.2, in ISO 14692-3:2017.
