Frequently Asked Questions
How to calculate the minimum required elongation?
Elongation in % = (½ tube / radius) * 100
Tubedimension (mm) Radius Elongation in %
What is a 2D curve?
The next rule can be applied. Change the tube dimension from a metric dimension to a (*nominal tube diameter) inch dimension.
Radius = inch * number D * 25.4
Example 2D: tube dimension Ø 60.3
Ø 60.3 = 2” (nominal tube dimension)
Radius = 2 * 2 * 25.4 = 101.6 mm
