How to Install Sure Stop 350 Gaskets in Ductile Iron Pipe

Dear all Would you please let me know about regarding deflect angle how much is equal in centimeters for each one degree

Thanks for your question. It’s a simple answer of conversion … The full 5-degrees of deflection at a joint equates to a 1-inch offset in any direction up along the barrel of that deflected pipe. So an 18-ft length of pipe can be deflected 18-inches, whereas say a 10-ft cut piece would only ‘kick’ 10-inches in any direction. Obviously, in certain larger sizes or restrained joints where the deflection recommendation might only be 2.5 degrees, these offsets are reduced in half, 9-inches and 5-inches respectively … i.e. ½-inch per foot of laying length. You know you have moved the pipe you’re deflecting to its max rating when it begins to move the bell of the other pipe it is inserted to. All one needs do then, for international units is recognize than 2.54-centimeters make 1-inch, so the “max offset” for an 18-ft length of pipe at 5-degrees deflected is 45.7-centimeters and would be 22.8-centimeters if the joint type deflection limit were 2.5-degrees.
