What are the different ways to bend brass pipes & tubes?
You can use several different methods – each has pros and cons to take into account before you choose which is best for your project.
Draw bender
A draw bender uses a die and a mandrel to create the desired shape. It produces very clean and accurate bends but may be quite slow and unable to handle large projects.
Mandrel bender
A mandrel bender grips the pipe or tube with a series of dies mounted on a mandrel. It produces very tight and accurate bends but can be expensive.
Three-roll bender
A three-roll bender uses three rolls to grip the pipe or tube while bending it to the desired shape. It’s relatively fast and affordable but not as suitable for bends requiring precise specifications as other methods.
Compression bender
The bender compresses the pipe or tube with a die to bend it. It’s fast and affordable, but the pressure loading can sometimes distort the shape of the pipe/tube at the point of contact.
What to look for when buying a brass tubing bender?
Check out these factors to find the perfect bender for your needs.
- First, before purchasing a tubing bender, consider the quantity and diameter of the tubing you will be working with. Ensure the tubing bender is compatible with the size of the tube that needs bending and production volume to avoid any problems or damage during use.
- Next, consider the wall thickness of the brass tubing. Search for a bender that can handle the thickness; so the tubing isn’t damaged during bending.
- Also, consider the bend radius. This is the distance from the center of the tubing to the outside edge of the bend. Make sure the bender can accommodate your desired bend radius to guarantee perfect results every time.
- Finally, consider the type of brass tubing. Some are easier to bend than others, so make sure the bender can handle the type of tubing you need to work with.
