Here is the tutorial.

1. Step 1:

   Start Creo.
   

   

2. Step 2:

   Sketch >> Top plane.
   

   

3. Step 3:

   Draw a circle of 80mm diameter.
   

   

4. Step 4:

   Extrude it as surface by 200mm.
   

   

5. Step 5:

   Offset the right plane by 200mm.
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Sketch >> DTM1.
   

   

7. Step 7:

   Draw a circle of 80mm at 200mm to the origin.
   

   

8. Step 8:

   Extrude it as surface by 200mm away from origin.
   

   

9. Step 9:

   Insert >> Boundary blend.
   

   

10. Step 10:

    Select both edges of the pipes while holding down control key.
    

    

11. Step 11:

    Under constraints change boundary conditions to Tangent for First chain.
    

    

12. Step 12:

    Same for Last Chain.
    

    

13. Step 13:

    Click OK and the surface is generated.
    

    

14. Step 14:

    Insert >> Boundary Blend.
    

    

15. Step 15:

    Again Select both edges while holding CTRL key.
    

    

16. Step 16:

    For direction 2 select the edges of the boundary blend 1 while holding CTRL key.
    

    

17. Step 17:

    Click OK and the surface is generated.
    

    

18. Step 18:

    Select all surfaces and then Edit >> Merge.
    

    

19. Step 19:

    ClicK OK and the surfaces are merged into one.
    

    

20. Step 20:

    Select the merge1 and then Edit >> Thicken.
    

    

21. Step 21:

    Input thickness 2mm outside. Click OK.
    

    

22. Step 22:

    Now the pipe joint is created using Boundary blend.
