The last sentence clearly states that the 45 degree short radius elbow so produced will not be an ASME B16.9 product and as such it will not be to any spec.
I think curlyjackme is looking for a 45 degree short radius butt welded elbow to some spec.
All,
Thank you for your responses.
I agree that "reasonable equations" can lead to a "reasonable estimate of the performance" however where does one find these reasonable equations? Based on one of the responses in thread407-256219 I have ordered a book which sounds like it might be useful...

I do not believe that there is an ASME standard that covers butt welded 45 degree short radius elbows.
If anyone is aware of a...
