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 has the author John Gillanders written?
John Gillanders has written: 'Pipe & tube bending manual' -- subject(s): Pipe bending, Tube bending
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 2D shape makes up a cylinder?
You can make a tube (or pipe) by using a rectangle and bending it around on itself. With two circles, you can close of each end of the tube to make a cylinder.
Is a tube less prone to bending than a rod?
Yes because it has an inside surface as well.
Cold bending of tubes is permitted in asme?
Yes - Cold bending is allowed by ASME B31.3. The requirements are detailed in Section 332. Generally the most difficult aspect of cold bending to ASME B31.3 standards is the requirement that the pipe not exceed 8% of the outside nominal diameter for internal pressure and 3% for external pressure. Thin wall tube and pipe generally require a mandrel bend.
Tube and pipe?
Tube is a made up of rubber, while pipe is a round solid material.
What kind of plastic tube does one need to repair a leaking pipe?
When repairing a leaking pipe, you need a plastic tube that is not leaking and with a mouth a little larger than the pipe you are replacing. No specific kind of tubing would be preferable over another type.
What is the difference between tube and pipe?
Tube is measured by outside diameter, pipe is measured by inside diameter.
What is the different between tubes and pipes?
Pipe n tube are same in shape etc. BUT only difference is Pipe is used for Transferring Material (Gas, Liquid etc.) AND where it is used for Heat Exchanging purpose , It is called TUBE.
When a tube or pipe is dipped in water why it looks like bended?
It is due to refraction phenomenon. That too mainly due to different speed of light in different medium. Light travels slower in water than in air.
Where are there neon tube bending schools?
the Dorian professional school in France provides a solid formation in neon bending
Why is bending a glass tube a physical change?
Cutting a glass tube is a physical change because the cut glass tube still has the same chemical composition as the uncut tube. Nothing has changed except the physical appearance of the glass tube.
