Mighty-Blade Process Heaters – Forming/Tolerances & Limitations

 

MIGHTY-BLADE FORMING

The unheated area from the termination end to the initial bend along with minimum dimensional requirements are primary considerations when forming a Mighty-Blade element. Parameters of the five possible types of bends are shown for use when designing a Mighty-Blade.
