Introduction
A radius bend is used in a ventilation ductwork system to change the direction
of the system. Accurately measuring a radius bend requires a number of skills
including sketching, measuring radii, manufacturing techniques, use of scale
drawings and working to a specification.

Area Calculation
(a) Cheek Size ( 2 no. Required)
0.6m x 0.6m x 2 no. = 0.72m
(b) Throat Wrapper Length
Radius is 200mm so the diameter is 400mm
Circumference of throat = (400mm x 3.14) 4 = 314mm
Area of metal for throat = 314mm x 600mm or 0.314m x 0.6m = 0.1884m.
(c) Heel Wrapper Length
Radius is 600mm or diameter is 1200mm.
Circumference of throat = (1200mm x 3.14) 4 = 942mm
Area of metal for throat = 942mm x 600mm or 0.942m x 0.6m = 0.5652m.
(d) Total Area of Material Required for The Radius Bend
0.72m + 0.1884m + 0.5652m = 1.4736m
Note: No allowance has been added in the calculations above for a lock-form
joint.

Example
A block of steel sitting on bench has a mass of 8kg. The Weight of the block is
80 Newtons (thats the force on the bench). If the block of steel has a surface
area of 2m, then we can work out the pressure of the block of steel on the
bench:
Pressure on the bench = Force Area.
= 80 Newtons 2m
= 40 Pascals.

Summary
A radius bend is used in a ventilation ductwork system to change the direction
of the system. Accurately measuring a radius bend requires the use of a number
of tools including a flat steel square, a tape rule or folding rule and a straight
edge.
When measuring a radius bend on site, it is important to make a detailed sketch
of the bend including such measurements and the radius of the throat, the
width and depth of the bend and any obstacles which may cause problems
during installation. Also if the radius bend is positioned outside, joint location
and the sealing of joints must be taken into consideration.
When making large fittings or bends, layout a reduced scale drawing of the
fitting to determine the seam locations, keeping in mind to utilise the full length
and width of standard sheet sizes of metal available. The choice of joints for a
large duct bend would include standing seams to hold the cheeks together or
the grooved seam/double seam, with the Pittsburgh Lock for corner joints and
the grooved seam/double seam for the wrappings if required.
Good house-keeping and a professional attitude is essential in accident
prevention and the overall efficiency of the job. Work areas should be kept
clean and tidy at all times. Waste materials should be disposed of correctly and
recycled where possible.
