Guides

If you are unsure about what type of bending your tube requirements need to fulfil, Listertube’s design guide is essential reading, containing information on the benefits of different bend types, tube sizes, and bend radii.

We have published a range of technical resources to help customers create designs that are better suited to production. In our Tube Bending Design Guide and End Forming Guide, we explain the key principles that improve manufacturability and production efficiency. However, we are often asked for more specific guidance on tube diameters and bend radii.

This supplement to our very popular tube bending guide explains the wide range of tube end forming, assembly and fabrication processes. By ensuring that product developers are aware of what is available and some of the considerations, they can prepare manufacture-ready designs utilising the most suitable design features. Purposes of tube end forms What do

The purpose of this guide is to provide you with a good enough understanding of the whole process of tube manipulation that you can avoid the pitfalls that can result in unexpectedly costly components or project delays. As a product designer, you face an unenviable challenge. You need to know enough about many different types

Adding to our range of useful guides for designers and specifiers of tube components, this Tube Selection Guide provides an overview of the commonly available metal tube dimensions in a range of materials. We hope that by providing this information, you can design your components around standard tube sizes thus simplifying sourcing and reducing the
