PrecisionFlow has deployed an in-house AI-powered cold-forming control system that dynamically adjusts mandrel speed, temperature, and die geometry in real time.
Validated across 2″–24″ NPS elbows, the system slashes average wall thinning from 22% to 12.6%, directly enhancing ASME B16.9 pressure ratings by up to 18% and extending fatigue life per API RP 1111.
The breakthrough reflects industry-wide shift toward predictive manufacturing and material efficiency in critical piping components.
