The linear movement of conduit beyond the conduit support or roller is directly proportional to the angle of the bend. This linear movement is called?
TRAVEL
This tool is used to align conduit within a bender to ensure the conduit is plumb, level, and square.
NO DOG
What is the motor on a bender called?
Drive Motor
The difference between the sum of the stub-up and leg lengths of a 90° bend and the original length of the conduit is the ? .
GAIN
A 90° bend made with 5° shots would require how many shots to make the bend?
18
When charting a bender, a mark was made 12 inches behind the conduit support. After bending a 90° bend this mark is now 1 3/4 inches behind the conduit support. What is the travel for the bender?
10 1/4"
(12 - 1 3/4" = 10 1/4")
Hydraulic benders use hydraulic pressure to push the ram component of a cylinder to move which part that bends the conduit?
SHOE
Most modern hydraulic benders are usually what type since these models are more efficient and easier to use?
ONE SHOT
The distance from the back of a 90° bend to the bending mark (Mark 1) is the ?
TAKE UP
What should the maximum number of degrees per shot for an exposed segmented bend be?
6 Degrees
When using a mechanical bender what is used to determine the angle of bend?
Travel
Using hydraulic benders is the most practical method for bending what sizes of conduit?
Larger Conduits typically >2 1/2"
When using a mechanical bender to bend saddles, all of the bends are aligned with what benchmark on the bender shoe.
Center of Bend
After bending a 90° bend using a hydraulic bender, what reference can be determined by subtracting the original length of the conduit from the stub length and the leg length.
GAIN
What is the shot spacing for a conduit that has a radius of 22" and 15 shots?
2.3
(22 x 1.57)/15= 2.3
DL=1.57XRadius
DL/#of shots= distance between shots
A particular bending shoe is found to have a travel of 9 3/4 inches. What will the travel amount be if you wish to bend a 30° bend?
3 1/4"
(divide the travel by 3 as 30 degrees is 1/3 of 90)
What is a term used to describe an offset that is crooked if you are looking down the conduit to determine its straight alignment between bends?
Dog Leg
What type of cylinder must be connected to the appropriate hose based on the direction of the directional control valve to operate correctly?
Double Acting
what is the multiplier for 22.5 degrees
2.61
The maximum single bend for a multiple-shot bender is ?
<90 Degrees
Conduit Bending and Fabrication Textbook, Chap. 6, Pg. 107, “Multiple-Shot Benders,” Paragraph 1, Sentence 2
Which of the following elements is not required when charting a mechanical or electric bender?:
A. TAKE UP
B. TRAVEL
C. GAIN
D. SHOE SIZE
D. SHOE SIZE
What is an UP dog?
WHAZZUP DAWG!!!
A unique component on a mechanical bender is the ? , which includes a pawl release.
RATCHETING MECHANISM
Conduit Bending and Fabrication Textbook, Chap. 5, Pg. 80, “Mechanical Bender Operation,” Paragraph 1, Sentence 1
How much does conduit shrink per 10 degrees of bend?
1/16"
Does anyone know the distance between bends using the travel method for offsets < 2 on conduit trades sizes 1/2" thru 1 1/2"?
1/2"= 3 3/4"
3/4"= 4 3/4"
1"= 5 3/8"
1 1/4"= 6 7/8"
1 1/2"= 8 3/4"
