Example: 45° bends
Maximum num-
Taking into account a bending radius ≥ 25 mm / 1 inch and a maximum bending angle of
ber of torch body
45°, the following number of bends are possible:

45°
-45°
Gas-cooled welding torches bent at least 1000 times
Water-cooled welding torches bent at least 200 times
Initial situation: 0°
0°
20°
Movement from 0° to 45° upwards
= First bend
Movement from 45° back to 0°
0°
= Second bend
Movement from 0° to 45° downwards
= Third bend
-20°
Movement from 45° back to 0°
0°
= Fourth bend
