Application Examples
Conclusion
In conclusion, both cold and hot bending techniques provide effective methods to form bends in piping systems, with suitability depending on material type, size and bend severity. While cold bending entails simpler equipment, hot bending allows tighter radii and processing of larger high-strength pipes. With proper preparation, controls and techniques, either method can produce robust, structurally sound pipe bends suited for their various applications transporting media. Overall, understanding limitations and optimizing bending parameter selection ensures dimensional accuracy and long service lifetimes of the finished pipe configurations.
