Pipe welding T-joint or "L" joint
Pipe welding T-joint or "L" joint
(OP)
I realized that making 90 degree bend with 2.5" diameter xx-strong pipe (per AISC table 1-14) is difficult, in addition the short radius elbow may be difficult to find.
I needed three (3) feet long pipe with 90 degree bends at the ends (like a bike rack or so). I thought of making the right angle in form of "L" joint by cutting the pipes at the edge (45 degrees) then weld together to make the 90 degrees.
Is this approach is doable for the pipe size? Is it better to make T-joint instead? I really need to go with L shaped edge but don't mind going with T-joint if it's better for any reason. Any advice?
Thanks

Can you sketch your problem please? - Sorry, but I can't visualize it from your description.
