Pipe Rolling and Round Tube Bending that Breaks the Rules … and Meets Your Needs

Typically, the thicker a metal is, the more difficult it is to bend in Arlington Heights.

Not so with pipe rolling or round tube bending – at least, if you hope to sustain the shape of a pipe or tube.

Metal pipe is hollow. One mistake while bending, and … poof! The pipe crushes.

Thicker pipe and tube wall are stronger, so don’t crush as easily. In other words, successfully bending pipe or tube is eased by thicker steel, unlike most other bending and rolling.

Still, round tube bending is an exceptional challenge, regardless of material thickness. Controlling distortion requires skilled control and precision. A pipe’s natural propensity is to bend into an egg or oval shape … if not crush outright.

Using dies is a practiced approach. The size of the die depends on a pipe’s outside diameter. Pipes come in a LOT of different diameters.

Being very literate in round tube bending, Max Weiss Company has an extensive library of pipe and tubing dies. In the hands of our metal bending specialists, Max Weiss Company can meet all your pipe rolling or bending needs in Arlington Heights.
