(1.25 mandrel bent tubing)
The global automotive and aerospace sectors require 1.25 mandrel bent tubing
that maintains 98.7% internal diameter integrity post-forming, according to 2023 ASME standards. Unlike compression bending which reduces flow efficiency by 15-22%, mandrel technology preserves wall thickness within 3% variation across bends. This precision directly impacts system performance - a 1.5° improvement in bend accuracy can increase exhaust scavenging efficiency by 8% in turbocharged applications.
Our 180 degree mandrel bent tubing achieves radii as tight as 1.2xD without ovalization, supported by real-time laser measurement systems. Comparative testing shows:
| Parameter | Standard Bending | Mandrel Bending |
|---|---|---|
| Wall Reduction | 12-18% | 2.8-3.5% |
| Surface Finish (Ra) | 25-32 µin | 8-12 µin |
| Tolerance Consistency | ±0.040" | ±0.012" |
Third-party testing of 3in mandrel bent tubing from major suppliers reveals distinct performance profiles:
| Vendor | Max Pressure | Cycle Life | Lead Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supplier A | 220 PSI | 850k cycles | 14 days |
| Supplier B | 185 PSI | 620k cycles | 10 days |
| Our Solution | 245 PSI | 1.2M cycles | 7 days |
