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

Typically, the thicker a metal is, the harder it is to bend in Albion.

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 slip 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 stainless steel, unlike most other bending and rolling.

Still, round tube bending is an exceptional task, regardless of material thickness. Controlling distortion requires skilled 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 practiced approach. The size of the die depends on a pipe’s outside diameter. Pipes come in a LOT of different diameters.

Being outstandingly 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 specialists, Max Weiss Company can meet all your pipe rolling or bending needs in Albion.
