The higher pressure requirements increased further, with thicker wall pipes.

The outside diameter of the pipe was standardized.Īs the industrial requirements handling higher pressure fluids, pipes were manufactured with thicker walls, which has become known as an extra strong (XS) or extra heavy (XH). To begin, each pipe size was produced to have one thickness, which later was termed as standard (STD) or standard weight (STD.WT.). Users started to call the pipe as 2inch, 4inch, 6inch pipe and so on. An IPS 6' pipe is one whose inside diameter is approximately 6 inches. The size represented the approximate inside diameter of the pipe in inches. That IPS system was established to designate the pipe size. The name NPS is based on the earlier Iron Pipe Size (IPS) system. Pipe size is specified with two non-dimensional numbers: a nominal pipe size (NPS) for diameter based on inches, and a schedule (Sched. Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) is a North American set of standard sizes for pipes and fittings used for high or low pressures and temperatures.

If you want to bend ERW tubing, we recommend using at least 0.083" for best results.) For any other types of material, call our tech department at +1 (813) 986-9000. die with a CLR of 3" is 0.065" when bending D.O.M. (For example: the minumum wall thickness for a 1" O.D. We recommend going up one wall thickness when bending these types of tubing. ERW (HREW or CREW) has thin spots which may cause a bending problem. Minimum Wall: This column represents the minimum recommended wall thicknesses for bending D.O.M. OD: Refers to the actual Outside Diameter of the tube as measured with a caliper.ĬLR: stands for Center Line Radius, meaning the bend radius as measured from the apex of the bend to the middle of the tubing. Pay close attention to the following terms (for more information on these terms, see our " Tube and Pipe Bending Basics" page): Our " What am I bending?" page is a useful tool if you're not sure what the difference between tube and pipe is. These dies fits the 105 Brute Tube and Pipe Bender for bending round tubing with a maximum degree of bend of 180 degrees after springback.
