Not sure your are asking about how to bend a tube or how much load a tube can take without any support? For the later you can use the normal beam bending formula with tubing and substance self weight acting uniformly across its body to get the bending stress and that have to plus the stress induced by internal / external pressure on the tubing.

ASTM is probably the best source.

Its calculated from material and cross section profile of the tube.

Check Machinery's Handbook.

You are allowewd to use an allowable tensile strength (bending strength) for pipes & tubes in accordance with your design Codes and standards. So you are requested to specify the design Code, design conditions, and tube material. Inturn you can find the allowable tensile strength for the specified material from ASME Code (Section II, Part A or B) or (ASME B31.1, B31.3, B31.4, B13.8, ... etc.).
