STHE minimum radius for bend part of U tubes.
STHE minimum radius for bend part of U tubes.
(OP)
Hy everybody,
My concern is about the minimum radius for bend part of U tubes.
STHE is in destination of a nuclear plant project, grade of tubes is 316L and according to the speakers the minimum radius fluctuates between 1.5 to 2 times the external dia of tube.
Does anyone know if a precise limitations is mentioned in ASME or TEMA or CODAP ?
Thank in advance

The smaller your bend radius, the greater your fiber elongation, which may require stress relieving, as required by ASME.
