Abstract
The effects of the ovalization of the tangential pipes to the elbows are analyzed. The geometric nonlinear behaviors of the elbows are shown with the element capable of ovalization. The relationships between the length of the tangential pipes in the models and the bend angles of the elbows are analyzed to supplement the ASME code. And the proper length of the tangential pipes for the elbow models are suggested.
