A floating bend radius device for limiting a radius of curvature of a flexible tube having a minimum bend radius comprises first and second members. The first member has a curved contact surface having a radius of curvature at least equal to the minimum bend radius. The contact surface is concave in a plane transverse to the flexible tube's axial direction for contacting a portion of the flexibletube. The second member is engageable to the first member and complementary to the contact surface. The engaged members define a tube receiving space between the second member and the contact surfaceof the first member. The tube receiving space has a cross-sectional dimension configured to provide a compressive force on the flexible tube. At least one locking device may interconnect the members.A tube assembly including a bend radius device and a flexible tube is also discussed. 种用于限制具有最小弯曲半径的柔性管的曲率半径的浮动式弯曲半径装置，其包括第和第二部件。第部件具有折曲的接触表面，其曲率半径至少等于最小弯曲半径。接触表面在横向于柔性管的轴向方向的平面中呈凹形，以接触柔性管的部分。第二部件可以接合到第部件并且与接触表面互补。接合的部件在第部件的接触表
