Miter Bend Calculation: E W S D T' B

The document provides calculations to determine the maximum allowable internal pressure for miter bends in pipe given various parameters of the pipe material, geometry, and joint configuration. It calculates values such as the wall thickness, radii, angle of the miter cut, and joint strength reduction factor. It then uses these in equations from standard B31.3 to determine the minimum distance between welds and maximum pressure allowances for safe operation of the pipe based on a given total angle of the mitered elbow and angle of the miter cut.
