Mandrel Bending- Tube
Mandrel bent tube can achieve tighter curvature than section bent pipe. It's commonly used as heating and cooling coils, bollards, roll bars and in complex, multi-bend shapes.
Tube differs from pipe in that it has thinner walls than pipe, so it's lighter and can achieve a smoother finish.

This table shows the tightest curvature generally achievable. These figures are nominally based on 300 grade steel, and should be interpreted as indicative only.
