Induction Bending

Induction bending by Barnshaws is an advanced metal bending process, offering optimum precision, efficiency and consistency. It is suitable for a very wide range of applications and completely overcomes the potential limitations of cold bending techniques, such as distortion and wall thinning.

Key Features

Induction pipe bending from 50.8mm (2”) up to 813mm (32”) outside diameter and up to 50mm thickness.
RHS bent about minor axis up to 500 x 300 x 20
SHS up to 400 x 400 x 20
UB and UC up to 500mm
Sections can be curved to smaller radii than with cold bending techniques.
Surface unaffected by the process.
Multiple bends are possible on a single length of pipe.
Reduced welding requirement with compound bends, improving finished pipework integrity.
Faster and more energy efficient than traditional hot bending methods.
Certification available, describing all key aspects of the induction bending process at a component-specific level, if required.
