Specifies the bend type.
For most codes, this refers to the number of attached flanges: 1 - Single Flange and 2 - Double Flange. A bend should be considered flanged if there is any heavy or rigid body within two diameters of the bend that significantly restricts the bends ability to ovalize. If there are no flanges on the bend, then do not specify a value for Type.
For BS 7159 or UKOOA codes with fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) pipe, this entry refers to the material laminate type. The laminate type affects the calculation of flexibility factors and stress intensification factors.
