Abstract
A bending flexibility factor and a pressure deflection factor are defined for pipe bends with oval cross-sections, and numerical values of these factors are presented for pipe bends with major-to-minor axis ratios from 1 (circular) to 2 over a wide range of bend radii and wall thicknesses, ignoring end effects.
