Center-to-end computed from the ASME B16.9 / B16.28 radius rule (90 deg LR = 1.5 x NPS; SR = 1.0 x NPS; 45 deg = radius x tan 22.5 deg). Tolerances per ASME B16.9. Minimum wall (87.5% of nominal, no upper limit) per ASME B16.9 / U.S. DOE-OSTI. B16.9 is dimensional only and assigns no pressure rating — verify the pressure-temperature limit from the matching pipe schedule and governing piping code.
