is there a formula for the curves in piping. type of curve? is there a default value for rho? does the linestock determine this?
 
curvature denotes the integral or derivative of a curve as it joins onto another curve.

Piping uses tangeny and curvature is the g2 continuity that automobile designers require to make the light reflections just right.

rho = the square root of 2 minus 1 by the way. I'm not sure if I answered your question but I do know that Jim Barret Smith is on Vacation and back next week. I tried to send an email and got a vacation reply.
