Single-bend allowance

Inputs

User-entered included bend angle; bend geometry and sequence are not inferred.
User-entered inside radius; tooling and bend method are not selected.
User-entered thickness; material condition and tolerance are not derived.
User-entered neutral-axis ratio; no material, tooling, or process K-factor selection is performed.

Method

Formula, when it applies, and when it does not

Apply single-bend angle, inside radius, thickness, and K factor to bend allowance and deduction arithmetic without selecting material, tooling, or a bend process.

BA = θ·(π/180)·(R + K·T); BD = 2·(R + T)·tan(θ/2) − BA

When

  • Single declared bend
  • User-entered inside radius, thickness, and K factor
  • Geometric allowance and deduction relation
  • No bend-method or material model

Don’t

  • This applies only the stated single-bend allowance and deduction relations to user-declared angle, inside radius, thickness, and K factor. It does not select material, K factor, tooling, bend radius, bend method, process sequence, multi-bend flat pattern, tolerance, manufacturability, cost, capacity, safety, suitability, or approval.
