Pipe Benders Manufacturers

A moderate curve can be formed in small sizes of pipe and tubing by hand bending. After a point, however, the inner wall of the pipe will start to collapse, forming a crimp. Sharper bends may be formed with a pipe bender because the bending shoe supports the wall of the pipe and allows them to stress without collapse. The larger-sized benders use a hydraulic cylinder similar to an automobile jack to create the necessary force.
