CALCULATE THE K FACTOR
Looking for a quick and easy way to calculate the K factor and bend allowance for your sheet metal? Our online calculator is your go-to tool!
The K factor is a crucial parameter in sheet metal bending, but it can be tricky to determine. It depends on factors like material, thickness, inner radius, and bend angle. We've created a comprehensive guide to explain the K factor, its formula, and its implications.
Simply input your material thickness, initial length, and inner radius into our calculator, and we'll provide you with the K factor and bend allowance.

VICLA's calculator uses the following formulas:
K = (π/2) * (T/Ri) Bend Allowance = angle * (π/180) * (L+B) * Ri Y = K * (π/2)
Where:
-
T: Material thickness
-
Ri: Inner radius of the bend
-
L: Flat length of the sheet
-
B: Flange width
-
angle: Bend angle in degrees
-
π: Pi (mathematical constant)
