To calculate the Tube Bend Radius (\(R\)):
\[ R = 2 \times D \]
Where:
A tube bend radius is a measure of the proper radius that a tube should be bent at given the diameter of the tube. The bend radius ensures that the tube stays structurally sound after it is bent. A tube with a bend radius that is too small will risk weakening the structural integrity after bending.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ R = 2 \times 5 = 10 \]
The Tube Bend Radius is 10 inches.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ R = 2 \times 3 = 6 \]
The Tube Bend Radius is 6 inches.
