Industry group for bending and rolling of metal pipes and profiles

Dutch Tube Bending Association

KNOWLEDGE OF BENDING
AND ROLLING

The DTBA has put together a comprehensive and practical instruction manual with questions and answers. For and by the members.

Training and education

Not through mainstream education, but through the DTBA

Bending a tube or rolling a profile is no simple matter. Companies affiliated with the DTBA represent quality. Experience of the various techniques and knowledge of the material can only be gained through satisfactory training and by getting practical experience. Good learning materials

and an experienced teacher are crucial to this. Unfortunately, because mainstream education (still) focuses too little attention on bending and profile rolling processes, the DTBA has put together a comprehensive instruction manual for and by the members with practical questions and answers.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Material
The various kinds of metal.
What happens to the material if force is exerted upon it?
The difference between hot rolled and cold rolled material.

Machines
What are the bending and rolling techniques?
What do you need to be aware of when bending and rolling?
What machines can you use for the applications?

Formulas and calculations
What calculations are needed for bending and rolling?
What formulas do you use for this?
How do you apply them in practice?

Workshops

Knowledge sharing from practical experience

DTBA also organizes technical workshops and meetings for various target groups the aim being to inform designers, engineers, architects etc. of the options and points for consideration when making use of bent tubes and profiles. In addition, we also highlight the advantages compared to other process techniques such as welding.

Are you interested in learning more about the possibilities and impossibilities of bending and rolling for your designers, architects and engineers? Or are you already working for a bending company and would you like to acquire further skills? Then please contact the secretariat at the DTBA.
