Founded in 1992 Australia’s premier induction bend manufacturer Inductabend specialises in high integrity heat induction bending of pipe and other sections for gas pipelines, mining and construction.

Inductabend owns and operates three induction bending machines that cover a wide range of applications. Pipe diameters from DN25 to DN900 with wall thicknesses of up to 100mm can be bent to the purchasers exact desired angle and radius (generally 2.5D and up) with custom tangent lengths on each end of the bend.

Complex compound bends can also be produced, including S bends and even helical bends for specialist applications.

Induction bending is compatible with a wide range of materials including all carbon steels, alloy steels, high X grade steels, stainless steels, nickel-clad pipe and other exotic alloys.

Inductabend internally developed a new world-first method of bending that allows us to utilise induction bending for the forming of bends with radii from 14m and up, allowing for gradual consistent changes in direction to minimise wear on steel pipelines and deal with difficult alignments all whilst maintaining their desired mechanical properties.

Additional services such as end preparations for welding, Victaulic grooving and coating are also available to customers when placing orders with Inductabend.

Inductabend also owns two cold field bending machines: CRC Evans PB 38 to 48 inches (960 to 1,210 mm) and Darby HPB 6 to 20 inches (150 to 500 mm) that are available for dry hire.
