Abstract

This paper investigates the bending of a Tight Fit Pipe (TFP). It is a double-walled pipe with a corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) liner fitted inside a carbon steel outer pipe through thermal-hydraulic production. Due to the effects of various variables, such as the process of production of a double-walled pipe, the initial imperfections in the inner pipe, and the mandrel location in rotary draw bending (RDB) without defects, it is not easy to study TFP bending. For efficient process modeling, a new plugin is developed. With this plugin, the production and bending are easily simulated and present the final bending quality (separation, wrinkling, ovality, and springback) in a few diagrams wholly and concisely. A stress histogram is introduced to quantify the investigation of separation between pipes and wrinkling. The plugin evaluates the ovality diagram, and the amount of springback is presented directly. Then the production and bending processes are performed experimentally, and the capability of the plugin is investigated. Due to the adaptation of residual stress in the production process and the plugin results, the simulation accuracy in the production process is confirmed. Then the comparison of wrinkling at the end of the process shows good agreement between the results of the presented plugin and the experimental results.
