Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9964180A1] A method for forming at least one bend in a double pipe is disclosed. The double pipe comprises an inner pipe located within an outer pipe. The method essentially comprises the following steps. In a first step, the inner pipe (10) is filled with a compressible material (11). The compressible material (11) is compressed in the inner pipe. In a second step, the double pipe is bent using a pipe bending tool. Then, the filling material (11) is removed from the inner pipe. In a further step, an expanding force is applied to the inner pipe (10) until the outer pipe (12) has undergone a predetermined expansion.
