Close Radius Pipe Bending A pipe bend is classified according to the centerline radius (CLR) of the bend as a ratio to the nominal pipe diameter. 4 N.P.S. pipe that is bent on a 6 CLR is classified as a 1 D bend or 1 times the nominal pipe diameter.his allows for the substitution of a pipe bend for a Long Radius 90 and 45 Butt Weld Elbow Fitting. (The centerline radius of a Long Radius 90 or 45 Elbow that is manufactured to ASME/ANSI B16.9 is also 1 times the nominal pipe size. A 4 Long Radius 90 Elbow is 6 center-to-face.).
