What is a Tube Bend Radius?

A tube bend radius is a measure of the proper radius that a tube should be bent at given the diameter of the tube. The bend radius ensures that the tube stays structurally sound after it is bent. A tube with a bend radius that is too small will risk weakening the structural integrity after bending.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ R = 2 \times 5 = 10 \]

The Tube Bend Radius is 10 inches.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ R = 2 \times 3 = 6 \]

The Tube Bend Radius is 6 inches.
