Dear all,
Large size pipes do not necessarily hold high pressures. The sizes under reference, in all probabilities would be working in less than or near 10 bar situation. Obviously, miter bends are the solutions to such cases.
I have known about a sea cooling water pipeline having 2825 mm diameter in Qatar. Big sizes do exist. In future, still bigger sizes may be required for such applications. Large size pipes are never bent to suit the shapes, the required configurations are achieved by mitering.
Cheers!
