When carrying out work related to the laying of pipelines and other communication systems, almost every builder uses a device such as a pipe bender. The need for their use arises immediately after the system needs to "adjust" the dimensions of the pipe with those indicated in the drawing. As practice shows, it is not necessary to wait for such cases for a long time. In addition, even with the full compliance of the pipeline with a pre-drawn pattern, it is necessary to minimize the number of connecting elements. In simple words, when laying communications, it is undesirable to often use butt elements. It is for such cases that the pipe bender is intended.
Design
It is worth noting that hydraulic pipe benders, despite the use of a special type of drive, are mechanical devices, and therefore their design is almost similar to that of manual devices. Byin fact, the only thing that distinguishes them from their "younger brothers" is the presence of a special cylinder that increases the efforts made by a person to bend pipes. Using such a device, you can easily and quickly obtain the desired design from an ordinary straight pipe with an angle of up to 180 degrees. By the way, some hydraulic pipe benders do not have a limiter, due to which this part can be bent up to 360 degrees. But, as a rule, only 2 main slope values \u200b\u200bare involved in construction - 90 and 180 degrees.
What else are they characterized by? The hydraulic pipe bender (including TG-1) is distinguished by the fact that it processes the material so high-quality that the possibility of flattening or the formation of pipe creases is reduced to zero.
Benefits
Manual hydraulic pipe bender (including TG-1) has a lot of advantages compared to electric and simply manual counterparts, which do not have a hydraulic drive in the design. Firstly, these tools have great power and productivity, due to which they provide high speed of work performed. However, it is worth noting that electrical devices related to professional equipment have a much higher power and are therefore ideal for mass production of such metal products. But such devices cost hundreds of thousands of rubles. Due to the absence of any electric motor, hydraulic pipe benders are several times cheaper than professional machines. Moreover, they are notstationary, like their more powerful counterparts, and therefore can be used directly at the site of the pipeline and communications. Another advantage of these devices is their reliability and ease of use. Again, these features are achieved due to the absence of an electric motor in this pipe bender. With a simple design, the mechanism will certainly break down less often than electric machines.
Price
In the Russian market, hydraulic pipe benders can be purchased at prices ranging from 10 to 40 thousand rubles.
