[MW:561] Re: Tolerance for Dog leg

By Materials & Welding
The dog leg is terminology normally used by European/ American pipeline inspectors for "mitre bend" in pipeline construction (cross country). These mitre bends/ deflection ( dog leg) are due to misalignment between two pipes (butt joint/ girth welds).
These type of un intentional mitre bends upto 3°  are acceptable as per ASME B 31.4 Article 406.2.2 & ASME B 31.8 Article 841.2.3.2.
 
Dogleg terminology not generally used for the straightness of a single pipe (not used for manufacturing of line pipe).

It is the out of straightness of line pipe. The out of straightness may be due to weld distortion at joint locations or due to improper fitup.
