Advantage of Bending Pipes Without Cold Forming Them
Cold forming bends in metal pipes has been done for years. However, induction pipe bending is often now favoured for a number of technical as well as commercial reasons. Put simply, this method uses a coil that is placed around a pipe to raise its temperature. When the metal pipe is sufficiently heated consistent levels of pressure are applied to the pipe to reshape it with the desired bend. Let's examine some of the principal reasons why cold formed pipe bends are less common nowadays.
