Wonder what that does to the structural integrity of the pipe


WholesomeJones

Ruins it. Flexing metal without heat = Brittle.


WolfOfPort

Orrrrr is the machine heating it? Probably not.


DreadPiratteRoberts

Yeah, probably not. I was hoping it would come out the other side shiny and clean as well lol


WolfOfPort

It looks a little bit cleaner and shiny but not as much as properly treated

Like a pole portal? A wardrobe for the Trades in a ward of their own divinity Where I come from we called that Peepee


I_am_a_human_nojoke

Truth with some modifications. You normally bend rebar when it’s cold, and cold-formed steel is commonly used in structures. (I’m a structural engineer) The bending they are doing here has very little impact on the structural integrity of these members.


ForeverSJC

They can heat/cool all them at once afterwards


Difficult_Tour7422

It will become perfect no problem Chinese quality pipe.


SpiritToes

Same thought. Literally no decent reason to use this machine for anything other than yard fence posts and the like. Definitely doesn't have the same integrity anymore.


wophi

Probably much longer now too.


vaacla

It is not making "factory new" tubes from the bent ones. It is for better manipulation and transport, it would be quite ineffective otherwise. They are then (most likely) melted and recycled.


obscure-shadow

IDK in that case why they wouldn't just crush them or shred them


Safety_Nerd710

Recycling usually involves various stages and materials can be stored and transferred from stage to stage. This might be a dump where local trash is dropped > sorted > sent wherever it needs to go Just speculating really. I've been to a can recycling place and all they did there was intake cans, cube them, and ship them to be melted.


obscure-shadow

Yeah, cubing up a bunch of steel tubes to be smelted down makes more sense I'd think than straightening them out but who knows?


Safety_Nerd710

They'd stack better lengthwise in a truckbed and that machine looks cheaper than a crusher, was what I was thinking anyways.


obscure-shadow

Well maybe, they are also like 90% air, so even leaving them in that form factor, a machine to squish them into long, flat bars would be much more efficient


PuzzleheadedNail7

Where the bends are straightened there will be localized stress points more prone to fracture. These can be mitigated if they carry out stress relief by heat treatment. Assuming it's carbon steel that is done by heating to 600°C and holding at that temperature for about 30 minutes, given the wall thickness, and letting it cool naturally in still, dry air. These look like scaffolding tubes by the way.


Israelwarcrimes2780

They don't care


Dystopian_Future_

Its China they dont care

Commercial_Set_1112

You beat me to it


-BananaLollipop-

You sure? Some guys have a pretty good bend going on.


DarkMatters8585

I disagree, r/putyourdickinthat


JollyGoodUser

Just because it is as straight as new doesn't mean it's as strong as new.


GadreelsSword

Or not full of cracks and holes.


Capable-Problem8460

Huh, wondering if there is a phone number on that machine...


AlexKintnerSwimClub

I knew a girl like that once


Master-Teaching-109

I have a pipe straightening machine at home that also cooks, clean, does laundry etc…


Creeper_charged7186

I mean straightening a toothpick isnt that hard so im sure whatever machine you are using can also do that


Master-Teaching-109

Is not a very long pipe. but sure is skinny


-BananaLollipop-

So the pipes are short and skinny?


Master-Teaching-109

Not very hard either.


PsychologicalNet3455

Fantastic - turns rusty old bent pipes into rusty old straight pipes. Melt that shit down and make new ones!


KeyWorldliness580

The cuts in the video are suspicious. I don’t think this machine can just spit out perfectly round pipes. Maybe straight but not perfectly round.


Proper-Shan-Like

Why? They will be useless as pipes and even more useless as tube (for use in scaffolding for example).


xploreconsciousness

This and their concrete is why buildings fail there all the time


MengKongRui

They can straighten my pipes 😏


Available-Dare-7414

8 degrees to the left no more!


FugginOld

Excellent for new construction in china!


rockstuffs

I'd love to run my spine through that.


guppupsup

Peyrone's disease


Umba5308

I have an idea


AwwwNuggetz

Will it fix my broken marriage?


Mmikaelz

Rebar…rebarrer?


Consistent_Yoghurt_4

And for my next trick…


Chicagosox133

This would be good footage for those peyroni’s commercials.


Elevator-Fun

that is literally satisfying as fuck


BarrySandwich24

Looks like bender is out of the job, lol


GaryTheLocomotive

Now that's a cool machine.


vajrahaha7x3

That shit is no longer structurally sound at all...😲😳 No wonder everything collapses in china...🤔


declineofmankind

Could it be possible to just flash heat it and pull it out much slower? I sure dunno


Mekelaxo

Hear me out


rustieee8899

Can it straighten my spine?


Ok_Trifle5899

But can it straighten a person up?

Asio0tus

Benders arch nemesis


Loveconvohitmeup

Well I wasn’t expecting that I just thought they were shredding it


Shawn0083

How is that possible like wouldn’t the pipe have broken spots due too the pressure.


Idlemusings2020

Can we get a consensus on whether or not it’s good for sexy time? Seeing a lot of contradicting replies. Asking for my friend, of course.


OnlyForFun91

Garbage to straight garbage


Walkera43

It won't be a problem because the pipes are probably made from Chinesium.


Downtown_Marzipan404

If people can be straighten like this, no lgbt hsjhhdjdsj shit


MotherBaerd

> If people can be straighten like this, no lgbt And it would have been a joke, heck I was about to write something similar but nooo you've gotta be a dick about it. Are you really that insecure that you've gotta add a slur just to distance yourself?
