BendTec, LLC

BendTec has the capability to paint/coat spools per any customers specifications. Single coat, multi coat, below or above ground. Most scenarios can be completed in-house.

Running into tariffs with your 3R Fittings, give us a call, odds are we can make an induction bend to cover your needs and you will only need to manage one contract. No need to weld on tangents, hire a UT or RT tech or ship them off to a coater. One cost, one PO to manage from one source.

Large Diameter 3D Bend Assembly, bends were made in house. 1 sub arc weld versus a minimum of 4 buttwelds to get the same envelope using LR Elbows.

Follow up to our last post. On the lighter side today. Lighter wall pipe and buttweld fitting sizes, Sch Std, 40, 40S, XS, 80 or 80S will usually be tied to an ASME B16.25 Fig 2a bevel. The internal diameter (ID) may not be machined at all on most pipe sizes. BW fittings will see a taper bore to remove excess material left over from forming. Once complete both pipe and fittings conveniently fit up to minimize mismatch based on the nominal ID of the pipe. Nominal ID = Outside diameter of pipe – (2 x’s Average or Nominal Wall Thickness).  

For the young engineers out there. When you are specifying beveled ends for your pipe system. Two of the most popular options on high pressure pipe systems. ASME B16.25, Fig 2C & 3C. The machined inside diameter counterbore allows all pipe joints to fit up and meet or exceed the 0.063” (1.6 mm) required by many ASME pipe fabrication codes. Other B16.25 examples will be posted in the coming days. 

BendTec LLC is capable of making your induction bend(s) and we have all your external coatings covered in-house. Why manage multiple contracts for coating, NDE and bending when it can all be done in one place. Choose from multiple plural systems (3M Skotchkote 327, Specialty Polymers SP2888, Denso Protal 7200), Fusion Bond Epoxy (3M Skotchkote 6233/6233P) or from hundreds of other painting/coating systems.

Grab a chair, it is going to be awhile. Nice relaxing 16-hour bend, 40" OD x 1.875" Min Wall A335-P22 5D. BendTec can bend up to 65" OD and all different radii and wall thickness.

It isn’t every day that you see a 12000 lb. forged lateral as part of your fabricated spool, 40” OD x 28” OD Reducing 45 deg A182 F22 Lateral. Just one of the large diameter replacement piping systems BendTec is involved with currently.
