    bend of every hundred bends along with Visual insepction of surface & shall maintain the records for
    the same.
    If Ovality & thinning founds unacceptable then bending shall be stop & setting of the machine to be
    changed & sample bend shall be prepared again.
    If pinching is resulting from die forming which is not acceptable then blend grind uniformly to
    surrounding metal & thickness check to ensure that minimum wall thickness is maintained as per
    drawing or torus formula.
