When it comes to tube bending, very few requirements are as important as accuracy. If the tubes are not precise there will be problems with connecting them together and there will be flaws in the finished piece. Any of these issues could lead to the products being rejected and new ones needing to be manufactured. This in turn would lead to higher costs for the manufacturer and could potentially damage their reputation. Continue reading →

Copper tubing has been used in plumbing systems for a very long time. In fact, the earliest evidence of using the material in the conveyance of water was found at Abusir, Egypt and dates back to around 2,750 B.C. The Pyramid of Sahure was built in 2480 B.C. to commemorate the death of the pharaoh. A mortuary complex was built around the main structure including the smaller Cult Pyramid and a High Temple. It is this temple where a basin with an outflow made of copper tube was found. The drainage system featured approximately 380 metres of copper pipes. Continue reading →

The key thing to remember when it comes to tube expansion is that in order to expand the end of a tube to a larger diameter, additional material is needed. This has to come from somewhere and the end result of the process is that the wall thickness and the length will shrink to allow it. It is important to take this into account when basic tubing is being manufactured to ensure there is enough excess material to facilitate expansion and avoid creating flaws in the finished tubes. Continue reading →

A standard piece of tube can be adapted in a number of ways, including reducing or expanding the diameter at various points along the length. When this is required, it is crucial to keep the wall thickness in mind and ensure that the process doesn’t result in a flaw in the structure of the tube. Care also must be taken if the grain of the material needs to be maintained. For both of these reasons it is important to have an experienced manufacturer do the job. Continue reading →

There are several cases when a tube needs to have holes drilled in it, but it is most commonly done to allow components to be attached together as part of a larger product. The holes need to be properly positioned so they line up, allowing the bolts or rivets to hold the pieces together. If they don’t line up, the part will be unusable and need to be remade. Continue reading →
