8. Select the correct buffer plates according to the wall-thickness of the pipe and position
of the forming tool housing.
S=wall-thickness of pipe, N=thickness of buffer plate.
X=adjustment factor depending of forming tool housing position.
Cold flanging: S ≤ N ≤ S+2 →
Hot flanging: S+2 < N ≤ 2xS →
Valid with 2.5 radius setting. Marks in housing
Select a 10mm buffer plate
Select a 10mm buffer plate
Select a 10mm buffer plate
If pin housing is rotated compensate buffer plate thickness correspondingly.
The thickness of the buffer plate is stamped on the plate itself.

If housing is rotated to +direction, more than 36° (1mm) reduce plate thickness by 1mm.
If housing is rotated to –direction more than 18° (0,5mm) add 1mm to plate thickness.
After that add 1mm to every 36° to –direction.
