To find the travel of a pipe:
Measure the horizontal offset, vertical offset, and run of the rolling offset.
Square each of these measurements, then add them all together.
Take the square root of the sum to get the travel.
If you don't know the value of run or have a preferred bent fitting angle, repeat steps 2 and 3 with run equal to zero and divide everything by the sine of your fitting's bend angle.
