I read in some welding handbooks that the minimum bend radius is 3.5 x Pipe Diameter. That means for rollbar piping, it should be 3.5 x 1.75 = 6.125" Radius.
JD2 sells 5.5" radius and 6.5" radius for this diameter piping. Will using the 5.5" radius die make the pipe too weak at the bend area? I have been told it is fine, but I do not want to compromise strenth at all.
Please help!
