Here at Royal Brass Incorporated, we frequently get asked questions about tube bending. Today, we will help you better understand the process and its importance. What Is Tube Bending? Quite simply, this process entails bending metal tubes to make them more useful for any specific purpose they might need to be used for. It is not easy to bend metal with one’s hand, and that is why tube bending is as important as it is. There are specific processes that one must go through to get those metal tubes bent just the way they need to be. There are a number of... View Article
Are you wondering how to measure tubing? Tubing is typically measured using the outside diameter, which is specified in inches or a fraction of an inch. Pipes are measured using nominal pipe size. It is related to the outside diameter but is much different. Read on to find more information about how tubing is measured, including wall thickness. Measuring Tubing When measuring tubing, always remember that the outside diameter is not the same as the pipe size. For example, a 1-1/2’’ pipe size has an outside diameter of 1.9’’ instead of 1.5’’. For any size that ranges between 1/8- 12... View Article
