Hydraulic pipe bending machines are used to bend pipes that are made of iron or steel. Standard pipe benders are typically installed in a single location, limiting people's ability to bend a pipe at a specific location, and portable pipe benders are extremely expensive. Due to the difficulties in this situation, the objectives of this project are to create a portable hydraulic pipe bending machine that is both functional and affordable. This project outlined how to design each detail of the pipe bending machine, including the final comprehensive design, the cost of the material, calculations, production specifics, and how to fabricate a hydraulic pipe bending machine that is easy to use for everyone. The results expected from this project are a functional hydraulic pipe bending machine that can withstand the forces that are applied to bend the pipe, especially for mild steel pipe types with a 21 diameter. A hydraulic jack is required as the main component of the machine that will bend the pipe. In conclusion, this affordable and easily handled pipe bending machine will benefit the user that uses it, especially the people that work in bending pipes.
