Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0677342A2] Tubular components are subjected to a forming process to produce curved lengths. The tube can be circular, elliptical or other cross-sectional shape. The required shape of the curve is provided a two part forming die (11). The initially straight tube (13) is inserted into the die and is held between sealing units (14, 15). Pressurised fluid is introduced (21) from a programmably controlled supply system. The tube is forced to adopt the curved shape with guide elements in the die (19) maintaining position. The forming pressure and fluid pressure is accurately controlled. <IMAGE>
