Ultibend High-Quality Tube Fittings

WALL THICKNESS. Ultibend's high-quality tooling removes scratches in the bends and eliminates the need for buffing to remove internal defects after bending. Other bends are often bent using heavier wall tube and polished back afterwards, resulting in inconsistent wall thickness. This way of internal polishing can also harbor defects on the inside of the bends.

CUT-FACE SQUARENESS. Ultibend’s unique trimming and bending process gives a square-cut face on 3 measures: off-plane, face-to-face and face-to-straight. Other bends can have inconsistencies in cut-face squareness of one or more of the 3 measures noted. Using non-cut-square fittings can cause gaps between the weld face during fit up that will require filling during welding and result in a longer, more complex and expensive install.

BEND ANGLE. Ultibend’s fully servo-controlled benders are bent accurately to 45°, 90° or 180° and maintain consistency, unlike other bends. Under/Overbent fittings can cause the pipe line to become off-square when welded in.
