Inquiry (采购产品): Brass Tube Bending I need to replace a piece of 5/8" outside diameter brass tubing on an antique brass & iron bed. The tube must be bent 90 degrees at each end with a radius of about 2 & 1/4 inches as measured at the CENTERLINE of the tubing. The two short outer legs (after the bends are performed) would be about 3 & 1/2 to 4 inches long and the distance between the two short parallel leg centerlines (after bending) is about 52". So the initial length of straight tube required would be approximately 60 inches. I can send you a detailed drawing of the required finished dimensions. I am just attempting in this email to determine if you can provide this service and what would be the approximate cost including your insuring and shipping the finished piece to me in Tennessee (37388). How closely can you hold the finished distance between the two short parallel legs? I have been told that brass tubing must be heated before it can be bent in this fashion and that it may possibly not bend through this tight a radius without splitting, even if it is heated. I am hoping that you will know if this operation is possible. I will be replacing an existing piece. However, the existing piece was fabricated from a piece of brass tube that closely fits over the outside of an inner piece of tubing that appears to also be brass. I assume that this was to make the bending operation easier. What would be the wall thickness of the tube that you would use? Please pass this email to your technical or engineering department.
