Acronymous in Fire Heater pipe design

Acronymous in Fire Heater pipe design

Acronymous in Fire Heater pipe design

(OP)
Could someone explain what these letters means? SR RB

They appear in a drawing of a furnace coil where a, 5,563" OD sch 40 180º SR RB 254 CRS, bend is sketched.

Thanks for your help.

RE: Acronymous in Fire Heater pipe design

I believe that means Short Radius - Return Bend.
