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 Pecatonica.

Not so with pipe rolling or round tube bending – at least, if you hope to preserve 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 stronger, so don’t crush as easily. In other words, successfully bending pipe or tube is eased by thicker aluminum, unlike most other bending and rolling.

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

Using dies is a recommended approach. The size of the die relies 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 wide-ranging 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 Pecatonica.

Bent metal tubing is a common element in signs, lighting structures, canopies and trusses in Pecatonica. Industry finds lots of uses in flow-through structures for air, grains and liquids. A near-endless amount of OEM applications require bent piping.

Metal bending, rolling and fabrication depends 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 correctly.
