MEC516/BME516 Fluid Mechanics, Chapter 3: A short quiz problem that demonstrates how to obtain an expression for the forces in a pipe elbow using the principle of conservation of linear momentum.

A more detailed discussion of the general solution method (and the reason why gauge pressures must be used) is discussed in this video:
