Westcon Pipe Technology – Certified Cold Bending and Complete Prefabrication

Westcon Pipe Technology offers certified prefabrication of pipe spools using advanced cold bending technology, ensuring precision, efficiency, and compliance with industry standards.

Dimensional Range – Cold Bending

Significant investments in fully electric bending technology enable certified cold bending for pipe dimensions from ¾" to 10" (Max OD = 273 mm), with bending radii of 1.5× diameter or greater.
For pipes below ¾" or above 10", prefabrication is performed using traditional methods.

Material Compatibility

Our cold bending process supports a wide range of materials, including:

• A106 Gr-B
• API 5L X52
• 316L
• CuNi
