Equivalent lengths are by definition dimesionless. If the L/D ratio of a bend is 16 you will get the equivalent length in whatever units you use for the diameter, just multiplied by 16. One of the few instances in engineering where units conversions don't come and bite us. But thanks to BigInch for the plug for Uconeer anyway.

Actually one was in nomograph form giving Le in feet for fitting diameters in inches, since they wanted to show some diameter dependence. But now that you mention it, Uconeer is absolutely the greatest "engineer's" unit converter I've ever seen.
