Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2177283A2] The method involves expanding an expander tool (2) with a pipe (1) for flowing the material. The expander tool is placed on pipe by externally introduced directional forces (F1,F2,F3) in the form of straightening triangle. The directional forces are introduced in a level. An independent claim is included for a device for arranging pipes.
