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

Typically, the thicker a metal is, the more challenging it is to bend in River Forest.

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

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

Thicker pipe and tube wall are more durable, 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 smart approach. The size of the die depends on a pipe’s outside diameter. Pipes come in a LOT of different diameters.

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

Bent metal tubing is a common sight in signs, lighting structures, canopies and trusses in River Forest. Industry finds plenty of uses in flow-through structures for air, grains and liquids. A near-endless amount of OEM applications include bent piping.

Metal bending, rolling and fabrication relies heavily on finesse and touch. Different rules apply to different metals.

Contact Max Weiss Company for all your pipe and round tube bending needs. The one rule you can depend on is that your pipe bending and rolling will always be done right.
