Proclad Group greatly increased its capabilities from the standard method with the introduction of clad induction bending to the marketplace. A perfect choice for applications such as 3D pipe bends, the process does not require any sand fillings or internal mandrels, and the induction coil is not in contact with the pipe. This produces a high-quality surface finish, which is better than cold bending and fire bending. There is also controlled ovality and reduced thinning. The bend radius can be variable from 3D centre line up to a maximum of 14 meters. Wall thicknesses of schedule 10 up to 2.5"(64mm) thick can be processed with no machine tool alterations. In some cases, multiple and compound bends can be produced from a single length of straight tube without the need for butt welding. The elimination of welded or mechanical joints in clad induction bending greatly increases the integrity of the finished pipe work.

• Proclad Group manufactures a wide range of clad and non-clad induction bends.
  Manufactured in sizes from 2"(50mm) NB and above, and in thickness ranging from 0.25"(6mm) to 2.36"(60mm).
• Bends can be made in any grade of carbon, or low alloy steels.
