PIPE BENDS

PIPE BENDS

A pipe bend is a generic term to indicate a fittings that changes the direction of the piping system (technically, elbows are pipe bends too but of a standardized type in terms of angle degree and direction). The term “pipe bend” refers to a fitting that offsets the direction of the pipe works, without specifying the actual degree and direction.

Pipe bends are manufacturing by twisting a pipe or a tube using a bending machine, with an hot or a cold forming process. Pipe bends are economical ways of making pipe works layouts decreasing the number of other pipe fittings used.
