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.
It is a coiled spring that is put inside a copper pipe so that it can be bent without kinking the pipe.
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.

You can check the links to the right, they might help you in finding some information on pipe bending and offsets.
pipe bending is a method to enhance the fabrication capabilities of pipe work and plumbing fixtures
By bending it
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.
i think defects of pipe 1. bending of pipe 2. leakage of pipe
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.
If bending low carbon steel pipe to 90 (right angle) you need to add another 5 for it to spring back.
it is called flex pipe its kinda expensive
