Experimental Investigations in Pipe Bending Methods: A Literature Review.

This paper intended to explore the aspects of pipe bending for composites material. In current industries such as oil and gas, petro-chemical, and aerospace needs very high quality bended pipes without any defects. There are many different methods for pipe bending. The pipes and tubes can bend in one of several methods depending on what requirement is to use the bend pipes and tubes. So the comparison between pipe bending methods needs to be an identified. In pipe bending process several defects occurs such as Ovality, wrinkling, and wall thinning and thickening. Purpose of this study is to comparing the available methods and finding out the suitable outcomes for the given circumstances.
