Enter the values; results update automatically.

U bends share the same radius and K. Legs must accommodate the radii. Relief cuts, springback and tool access are excluded.

How to use

Enter outside dimensions A and B for L, or A, base B and leg C for U. Measure to the theoretical outside intersections; every bend is 90°.

Example calculation

A = 50, B = 100, C = 50, t = 2, R = 2 mm; K = 0.4 → L ≈ 146.39823 mm; U ≈ 192.79646 mm.

Calculation method

L: Lflat = A + B − BD U: Lflat = A + B + C − 2BD θ = 90°

Calculation limits

U bends share the same radius and K. Legs must accommodate the radii. Relief cuts, springback and tool access are excluded.
