'Plooien van de pijpstukken volgens plannen (...)'
'Controle van de geplooide bochten volgens een kwaliteitsplan.(hardheden,ovaliteit, enz).'
'(...) de plooiprocedures en bijhorende plooitekeningen.'
--------------------------
My question is what would be the best English term for 'plooien,' in a (pipes/tubes) welding context? (Both as a verb and a noun.)
Thanks in advance!

Nick van Boshoven

crease
Note from asker:
