Okay, lets start another good debate. Everywhere you read, companies are talking about how much better their mandrel bends are compared to old fashion pressure bends. Now, I understand that that is probably true because the pressure bends decrease the size of the tube at the bend points. Has anyone actually seen any data that shows how much a person can gain in going with mandrel bends? Let's just take a 2.25" mandrel bent system compared to a 2.5" pressure bent system. Which one will yeild a higher flow?
As a side note, I do understand how mandrel bends are made. Can a person who already has a tube bender (pressure bender) simply buy the mandrels that go on the inside of the tube and be able to make mandrel bends?
