Reading & Understanding Drawings
Interpret isometric drawings, P&ID; references, and fabrication sketches
Understand:
Bend angles and bend radius
Orientation (horizontal/vertical plane)
Cut length and developed length
Identify pipe material (CS, SS, alloy, etc.) and schedule/thickness

Machine Setup & Operation
Set up pipe bending machines (manual, hydraulic, CNC, induction type)
Select correct:
Dies and formers
Mandrels (if required)
Clamps and supports
Adjust machine parameters:
Bend angle
Bend radius
Speed and pressure

Pipe Preparation
Measure, mark, and cut pipes to required length
Ensure pipe ends are:
Deburred
Clean and free from rust, oil, or scale
Check material identification before bending

Bending Process
Perform bending as per drawing and procedure
Maintain correct bend orientation and plane
Avoid defects such as:
Wrinkling
Flattening (ovality)
Cracking
Wall thinning beyond acceptable limits

Quality Checks
Verify:
Bend angle using protractor/angle gauge
Bend radius
Dimensional accuracy vs drawing
Check ovality and surface condition
Mark and segregate rejected pieces

Maintenance of Tools & Equipment




Perform routine machine checks and lubrication
Ensure dies and mandrels are not worn or damaged
Report machine faults or hydraulic leaks immediately

Safety Compliance
Follow PPE requirements (gloves, goggles, helmet, safety shoes)
Keep hands clear of pinch points during bending
Follow protected lifting practices for heavy pipes
Maintain clean and obstruction-free work area

Coordination with Fabrication Team
Work closely with:
Fitters
Welders
Supervisors
QC inspectors

Additional Responsibilities (Senior/Experienced Benders)
Develop bend allowance and bend deduction calculations
Optimize material usage to reduce scrap
Train junior operators
Assist in method statements and bending procedures

Key Skills Required
Knowledge of pipe schedules and materials
Understanding of tolerances and fabrication standards
Hands-on skill with bending machines
Positive measurement and marking ability
Basic knowledge of welding fit-up requirements

Job Types: Full time, Permanent Pay: ₹25,000.00 - ₹40,000.00 per month

Work Location: In person
