What is the difference between a mandrel bender and a pipe bender?
The first difference is actually pipe vs tubing. Pipe is measured at the inside diameter or ID vs tubing being measured at the outside diameter or OD. Dies for bending pipe and tubing are different because of the different measurements. A mandrel is pulled through tubing or pipe to keep the inner diameter constant.
How can someone learn the art of bending sheet metal?
There are several ways an individual can learn the art of bending sheet metal. There are tutorials, both written and video, on the internet at many websites. In addition, an individual can seek out professionals in the field and ask for assistance in learning the art.
What is stronger a round steel pipe or a steel hollow square bar?
By stronger, we need to define the loading conditions of the rod or pipe. The strength of a rod or pipe is typically evaluated with axial, transverse (bending), and torsion loads. With the same diameter and the same material, a solid rod is stronger than a hollow pipe. However, with the same weight and material, the hollow pipe is stronger than a solid rod. Because a hollow pipe is lighter than a solid rod at the same diameter, the hollow pipe would have a larger diameter in order to match weights with the solid rod and a larger diameter rod or pipe is stronger than a smaller diameter one.
What is the formula to layout pipe saddles for joining pipe at angles?
I edited and uploaded a program I wrote to calculate pipe saddle layout, pipe miter layout, and to calculate running offsets for piping runs. I have used similar programs in the past to get information to pipe fitters. I am using and evaluating a conversion program that limits what I can upload during the free trial period; so the sheets may be a bit awkward to use....let me know. Those of you who use the method of dividing a pipe in 16-divisions will note I have added 64-division points should you want to use these; the 64-divisions would be better to use if you were making a saddle template for larger pipe or for a saddle with a shallow angle. (I moved this to 'www.pipesaddlelayout.com) Let me know if it works for you or what seems confusing. Dave
Where can a person find tube bending services?
There are multiple tube bending services to be found online on various websites. The most recommended websites are 'Tube-Bending-Service' and 'Barnshaws'.
What has the author John Gillanders written?
John Gillanders has written: 'Pipe & tube bending manual' -- subject(s): Pipe bending, Tube bending
What is pipe bending radius 40D?
The term "pipe bending radius 40D" refers to the minimum radius at which a pipe can be bent, where "D" represents the diameter of the pipe. Therefore, a 40D bend means the bending radius is 40 times the pipe's diameter. For example, if the pipe has a diameter of 2 inches, the minimum bending radius would be 80 inches. This specification helps ensure the integrity and performance of the pipe during bending, preventing kinks or damage.
What is bend pipe?
pipe bending is a method to enhance the fabrication capabilities of pipe work and plumbing fixtures
How can you make a peace sign out of a pipe cleaner?
By bending it
What is pipe bending normally used for?
Pipe bending is occasionally used in plumbing work but mostly it is used in hydraulic applications. It is also used in automotive arenas where space is limited.
Is bending pipe different than tube bending?
This depends on the thickness of the pipe in question. When bending tubing and pipe one wants to keep the inner diameter consistent through the bend. That's what tube bending kits are designed to do. Exhaust pipes ( wich are thin ) are bent in the same fashion as tubes, only the machines are larger. You can see this if you visit a local muffler shop. If the pipe is thick walled the pipe must be heated to bend it, and then annealed. This process utilizes heavy hydraulic driven machinery. Mandrel bending is a system wich uses two heavy wheels the pipe is fed through. Sand bending is a shade tree mechanics technique where the pipe is packed with dry sand and then heated and bent by hand.
What is a pipe bending machine?
A pipe bending machine is used in a factory to shape large pieces of metal for use in constructing things. This is a good way to get parts made for large projects.
What happens to piping when its over bent?
When bending a pipe there are many different ways to do it. If you bend the pipe too much it can break and leak. So you need to make sure when bending pipe that you have the correct angle you want and don't over bend it.
What are Internal pipe bending springs are used for?
It is a coiled spring that is put inside a copper pipe so that it can be bent without kinking the pipe.
It is a type of steel exhaust pipe you can bend like a bending drinking straw can?
it is called flex pipe its kinda expensive
When bending low carbon steel pipe to a right angle approximately what internal angle should the pipe be bent to allow for the elasticity of the metal?
If bending low carbon steel pipe to 90 (right angle) you need to add another 5 for it to spring back.
How to calculate combined effect of bending and torsional stress on a rotating pipe?
You can calculate the combined effect of bending and torsional stress on a rotating pipe using the outside diameter. The angle of rotation and the shearing stress should also be considered.
