Induction bending of steel pipes and hollow sections

Induction bending of steel pipes and hollow sections exerts the heating of material through vortexes induced by a variable electromagnetic field. All material that is electricity conductors can be heated and bent through induction bending. The temperature is controlled by infrared cameras and adjusted automatically under induction bending to secure smooth heating of the object without risks of overheating.

Simply put, induction increases the quality of bending of steel pipes and hollow sections, while simultaneously decreasing the costs a lot compared to other traditional methods. There will be noticably fewer welding joints with the accompanying documentation requirements.

Constructors and architects also experience that induction bending gives freedom and flexibility not offered by traditional methods.

NIRAS is one of Europe's leading actors in induction bending of steel pipes and hollow sections for use both offshore and onshore.
