HOT INDUCTION BEND
Hot Induction Bend
Hot Induction Bending is formed by passing pipe through an induction bending machine. As the pipe is pushed through the machine, a bend with the desired radius of curvature is produced.
The induction bending process also causes wall thinning on the extrados and thickening on the intrados. The severity of thinning/thickening is dependent upon the bending temperature, the speed at which the pipe is pushed through the induction coil, the placement of the induction coil relative to the pipe (closer to the intrados or extrados), and many other factors.
