What is a Carbon Steel U bend Tube?
- U bend tubes are important components in all types of heat exchangers such as seawater coolers, condensers, evaporators, heaters and re-heaters. U bend tubes are used for several critical applications which require high corrosion resistance materials and highest quality standards to be maintained. Some of these applications include condensers, coolers, evaporators, heaters in refinery, petrochemical, chemical, oil and gas, organic and inorganic acids, hydro metallurgy, power generation and desalination.
- ‘U’ bending is done by cold working process.
- ‘U’ bending is done to the required radius as per customer drawings.
- The radius is checked for its OD and wall thinning with the recommended specification.
- The physical properties and micro-structure is checked at three different position.
- Visual inspection for waviness and cracks is done with Dye Penetrant Test.
- Each tube is then hydro tested at the recommended pressure to check for leakage.
- Finally the tubes are pickled, dried, marked and packed.
- The key raw material for producing U bent tubes is seamless tubes produced through piercing process followed by pilgering/drawing.
- Our facilities are equipped with all the machines required to cover the process with a high quality results (Piercing, pilger machines, draw benches, straightening machine, degreasing facility and solution annealing furnace). This process is completed with our in house quality testing of chemical composition and mechanical properties (Tensile, Impact, Hardness). Non-destructive testing includes Hydro test, Eddy current test and Ultrasonic test. Quality department is also equipped to carry out in house corrosion tests such as inter Granular corrosion test besides Micro structure analysis. Any special testing requirements can be carried out at Third party Labs.
- The tolerance of U bent tubes produced by us in line with ASME/ASTM & EN Standards. We promise each U bend tube that we deliver to our client will be the best in quality.
Manufacturing Process of U Bends and Tubes
Tube bending as a process starts with loading a tube into a tube or pipe bender and clamping it into place between two dies, the clamping block and the forming die. The tube is also loosely held by two other dies, the wiper die and the pressure die.
The process of tube bending involves using mechanical force to push stock material pipe or tubing against a die, forcing the pipe or tube to conform to the shape of the die. Often, stock tubing is held firmly in place while the end is rotated and rolled around the die. Other forms of processing including pushing stock through rollers that bend it into a simple curve. For some tube bending processing, a mandrel is placed inside the tube to prevent collapsing. The tube is held in tension by a wiper die to prevent any creasing during stress. A wiper die is usually made of a softer alloy such as aluminum or brass to avoid scratching or damaging the material being bent.
Much of the tooling is made of hardened steel or tool steel to maintain and prolong the tool’s life. However, when there is a concern of scratching or gouging the work piece, a softer material such as aluminum or bronze is utilized. For example, the clamping block, rotating form block and pressure die are often formed from hardened steel because the tubing is not moving past these parts of the machine. The pressure die and the wiping die are formed from aluminum or bronze to maintain the shape and surface of the work piece as it slides by.
Pipe bending machines are typically human powered, pneumatic powered, hydraulic assisted, hydraulic driven, or electric servomotor.

Prices for Carbon Steel U Bends and Tubes
Prices for carbon steel tubes are directly co related to prices of the raw materials such as iron ore, metal scrap, chromium, nickel and various other alloying elements. The production cost of heat resistant stainless steel and nickel alloy plates is high as they contain high amount of nickel and chromium. Meanwhile, mild steel material is among the lowest cost steel available, followed by carbon steel, 400 series stainless steels, aluminium, alloy steel, and 300 series stainless steel. Special alloys such as titanium, Inconel, Monel and Hastelloy cost very high as the nickel, chromium and moly content is very high.
