(OP)
I am looking for a reliable & repeatable method/tool to measure a radius on a pipe. In our application we are making oilfield equipment that consists of a pipe with an "upset" (larger diameter section on an offset centerline). The radius (4" to 8" radius) we are trying to measure begins tangent with the pipe OD and ends tangent on a transition angle to the larger OD.
I found this

but don't know if we can pass calibration/certification standards for use. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Can you cut a section from the pipe and put on an Optical Comparator, those are reliable & repeatable and have been in use for decades.
