What is Radial Growth?

Radial growth is the phenomenon where bend radii increase during bending. For example, the bend die may be machined at 1-inch centerline radius, but the tube radius after bending, expands to 1.050 inches.



VTube-LASER Can Measure Bend Radii

VTube-LASER can measure the actual radius using the Bend Profile measure process. See https://advancedtubular.helpsite.com/articles/123403-vtube-laser-bend-profile-inside-or-outside-bend-radius-calculations
