Tube Bending Essentials
Our Swagelok Tube Bending Essentials course offers foundational knowledge needed to introduce bent tubing to your system to eliminate connections and leak points found in traditional welded pipe systems. Upon course completion, students will be able to properly cut and deburr tubing, explain the purpose of various marks used in tube bending, bend tubing with the correct bend angle made in the correct location, identify potential bend defects, and properly assemble a tube bending demonstration box, pictured below.
Each student will receive a comprehensive workbook to guide them through the seminar and serve as a technical reference upon completion. Upon completion, each student will receive a Certificate of Completion in addition to several valuable take-aways from the course.
