Triple Bends
Shown are 6.625″ .280″ wall pipe with three bends, all on an 18″ centerline radius.

If you have a need for a pipe or tube bend with a special configuration let us help! TTB can provide bends in almost any configuration – we make arbors, offsets and out-of-plane bends in a variety of pipe sizes and materials. Shown are some stainless steel arbor bends read…
Tulsa Tube Bending produces heat induction bends to ASME B16.49. This nationally recognized standard has become well known for energy, transmission and distribution applications requiring hot induction bending. B16.49 covers the manufacturing, testing and inspection requirements for pipeline bends having controlled chemistry/mechanical properties produced by the heat induction bending process….
Tulsa Tube Bending can make helical coils in multiple configurations.
Pictured are three 30″ road signs on the way to the fabricator. Monotube road signs have some advantages over the old, truss-style. They’re more wind-resistant, easier to install, don’t require as much maintenance, and are much harder to vandalize because vandals can’t climb them.
Shown are two “box-style” wearbacks on a pallet ready to ship to the customer. The end plates of these wearbacks were not welded on. The customer may be leaving the “box” empty or filling it with concrete. Abrasive materials will eventually wear through the backside of the pipe bends, but…
Shown are 30″ OD, monotube road sign posts on their way to the fabricator. Monotube structures offer numerous advantages over truss-type structures. Monotube structures don’t require as much maintenance, are more wind resistant and are much harder to vandalize because they’re practically impossible to climb.
Tulsa Tube Bending can roll more than round, square and rectangle pipe and tube. Shown below, a W8X31 I-beam rolled to a 2′ 11 3/8″ inside flange radius (3′ 3 7/16″ to the centerline). This I-beam with long tangents will be used for a monorail structure.
Shown are Tulsa Tube Bending 12″ pipe bends (on various radii) used in the Baylor campus “light towers” being constructed for the new welcome center.
While you’re walking to catch your next plane, take a look around the airport. Do you see any pipe bends? If so, they may be ours! These pipe bends are located in Charlotte International Airport.
Pipe bends can be used in all kinds of sport applications. These 1.5″ OD tube bends are being used in a motocross starting gate.
Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) is a thermosetting powder widely used to protect the pipe used in pipeline construction from corrosion. After the pipe surface has been cleaned/blasted, it’s heated and the dry epoxy powder is applied. The powder melts onto the surface and adheres to the pipe, creating a hard…
Tulsa Tube Bending can provide pipe and tube bends with specialized processing like pickling and passivating to remove surface contaminants.
We can now offer heat induction bent MSS SP-75 bends in carbon steel from 6.625″ OD to 36″ OD with radius of 3D and up (depending on wall thickness).
Large, rectangular bent tubing like this can be found in gas station canopies, building facades, recreational shade structures, and more. Hot bending allows us to bend tighter radii with less cross section distortion.
We can bend pipe greater than 3″ thick (depending on pipe OD, grade and radius). Pictured is a 1″ wall carbon steel heat induction bend.
Bent tube used in the manufacture of farm equipment.
With cold bends like these, a plug, or mandrel, fits inside the pipe while a rotating steel die forms the pipe to the radius of the die. The mandrel supports the pipe internally to reduce the amount of pipe cross-section flattening that occurs during bending.
Induction bending allows us to bend large pipe, up to 36”OD. Compared to cold forming methods, induction bending minimizes deformation of the material to achieve bends with very little ovality even when tight radius bends are required. To create induction bends, we place an induction coil around the pipe which…
We are certified to ISO 9001-2015 as of 03/04/21!
The fabricated boxes shown in the prior post have been welded to the pipe bends with flanges attached and the box-style wearbacks are ready to ship.
Fab work for the “box” of our box-style wearback. The completed box will be welded to the back side of a 12.75″ bend. Wearbacks provide decreased downtime for repairs or replacement for material handling applications with abrasive products. Once the abrasive material has worn through the back of the pipe,…
An example of a stainless steel, quadruple pass (4 inlets/outlets), quadruple helix (4 coils nested inside each other) coil.
Two tight radius stainless steel coils ready for shipping. Coils like this are used for many different processes, including chemical and food production.
Our 16″ x 12″ bent tube made up the primary structure of the front/main frame of this CAT road grader.
Tulsa Tube Bending’s pipe coiling capability is sky high – or roof high in this case! We roll helical coils from 1 to 8 NPS in almost any wall and material grade. We specialize in complex, multi-pass coils and can also produce coils in helical and pancake configurations.
Tulsa Tube Bending can provide heat induction bent stainless steel with a pickled and passivated finish.
World’s first cable-to-rail zipline rollercoaster with bent tube courtesy of Tulsa Tube Bending! This roller coaster takes riders on a 1,000-foot-long ride 80 feet in the air.
Tulsa Tube Bending can provide pipe bends with custom end preparations such as coped ends.
