In this paper, an experimental investigation of characteristics of developing transitional steady flows in a square-sectional 180 urved duct is presented. The experimental study is carried out to measure axial velocity profiles by using Laser Doppler Velocimeter (LDV) system. The flow development is found to depend upon Dean number and curvature ratio. For transitional steady flows, the maximum velocity position of axial velocity profiles begins to incline toward the outer wall from $\phi$=$30^{\circ}$bended angle, velocity profiles in center of the duct have lower value than those of the inner and outer walls because of the centrifugal forces.
