Pipefitters need to bend all sizes of pipes and tubes from the smallest sizes used for medical gas or instrumentation, through 1/2" 3/4" and 1" steam tracing lines to heavy duty pipeline pipe bending up to 60" in diameter.
Ridgid makes tools for hand tube bending copper or stainless steel. Tools for making bends in larger pipes, especially steel pipes for steam tracing are done with electric or hydraulic motors.
Check out this bending tool.
Here is an example of tube bending for steam tracing. The tubing is laid over the pipe, under the insulation to keep systems from freezing up.
