Bend Deduction and Flat Length Calculator

Material:

Steel Aluminum Stainless Steel

Thickness (mm): Bend Angle (°): Bend Radius (mm): Calculate

Key Features:

• 🔧 Supports steel, aluminum, and stainless steel
• 📏 Inputs for material thickness, bend angle, and bend radius
• 📐 Calculates bend deduction and flat length instantly
• 💻 Clean, mobile-friendly user interface
• ✅ No login or installation required

How to Use:

1. Select material (steel, aluminum, or stainless steel)
2. Enter material thickness in millimeters
3. Input bend angle (from 1° to 180°)
4. Enter inside bend radius
5. Click “Calculate” to view results
6. Read the bend deduction and total flat length needed

How It Works – Calculation Formula:

• Bend Deduction is calculated using the formula: \text{Bend Deduction} = \frac{\pi \times \text{Thickness} \times \text{Angle}}{180}
• Arc Length: \text{Arc Length} = 2 \times \pi \times \text{Radius} \times \left( \frac{\text{Angle}}{360} \right)
• Flat Length = Arc Length + 2 × Bend Deduction

This gives a reliable estimate of how much flat sheet is required before bending to achieve the desired shape.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q1: What is bend deduction?

A: Bend deduction is the material length removed at the bend to account for compression and stretch during forming.

Q2: What materials are supported?

A: Steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. For others, contact us for customization.

Q3: Can I use it for U-channels or custom profiles?

A: This calculator is ideal for single bends. For complex profiles, use CAD software or advanced CNC tools.

Q4: Does this calculator use K-Factor?

A: No, it uses a simplified deduction formula. For K-factor-based calculations, use our advanced version.

Q5: Can I export the result?

A: Currently, results are displayed on screen. Export options are in development.
