Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0510759A1] A method of producing, from sheet metal, a thin-walled pipe bend comprises the steps of producing halves for the pipe bend, the halves being formed into one another' s mirror images in the plane of curvature of the pipe bend. Thereafter, two such halves are joined together, preferably welded, for the formation of a pipe bend. In order to reduce material consumption and rationalize production, an annular gutter (2) is formed in a sheet metal blank (1), the gutter being given a profile which corresponds to the profile of one half. On the formation, a central hole (7) is made in the blank (1) inside the gutter (2). Thereafter, the gutter (2) is separated from the blank (1) and divided into a number of halves which are joined together two-by-two. <IMAGE>
