In the 3d modeling world, we need to set a deflection angle for SW fittings. Looking at B16.11, pg 7.2, myself and another arrived at a real world deflection angle of .29 degrees. This allows a very small adjustment of pipe angle at a socketweld fitting.
Now, in the past, i have seen isometrics go to a fab shop with a .5 degree deflection and up to 1.2 degrees for 1/4" per ft sloped pipe with no resulting pushback from the fab shop.
What have others seen in this case? Looking for a consensus on a realworld max. angle.
