INTRODUCTION Haskel International, Inc. has over 60 years of hydraulic and pneumatic engineering experience in the design and manufacture of a wide range of air driven gas boosters, air amplifiers, liquid pumps, valves, fittings and test systems, including 40 years experience with hydraulic tube expansion (HydroSwage®) systems. Haskel is part of United Technologies' Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation. Operating under the ACE (Achieving Competitive Excellence) business model, Haskel has implemented a vision to become the highest quality, lowest cost, most customer focused provider of...

MAJOR BENEFITS OF USING HYDROSWAGE® INTENSIFIER HydroSwage systems utilize an intensifier to achieve swage pressure. This method has strong advantages over systems that depend on a single pump to generate the high pressure needed for tube expansion. • The dampening effect of the intensifier results in smooth, uniform pressure curves for each expansion cycle. • Our intensifier contain a valve that senses when the intensified pressure reaches approximately 95% of the swage pressure setting, at which point the swage timer is triggered insuring that the pre-set expansion pressure is maintained...

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The HydroSwage® system is an innovative approach to hydraulically expand heat exchanger tubes into tube-sheets through the direct application of high internal hydraulic pressure within an established expansion zone. A Tube-Loc™ Drawbar quickly positions and sets the tube into the tube-sheet prior to HydroSwage® expansion. It is also used to set tubes prior to welding. Water pressure from an air driven pumping system is intensified to the desired high pressure. It is transmitted through a small bore, flexible high pressure tube to a lightweight hand-held mandrel...

MARK V HYDROSWAGE® SYSTEM Mark V Hydroswage System 45420 The Mark V HydroSwage® System features an electronically controlled, air driven hydraulic system which includes a high pressure intensifier producing pressures to 50,000 psi (3445 bar). The control panel allows set up and monitoring of all tooling functions through a digital touch screen and is configured to allow Tube-Loc™ and Swage functions to be performed simultaneously by two operators. The Mark V is housed in a sturdy metal cabinet with heavy duty industrial casters for portability. The touch screen stores expansion history...

ES-675 HYDROSWAGE® SYSTEM ES-675 Hydroswage System 50307 The ES-675 HydroSwage System is the most cost effective system of the HydroSwage® line, offering outstanding performance similar to the Mark V at a very economical price. Like the Mark V, the ES-675 HydroSwage® features an air driven hydraulic system which includes a high pressure intensifier producing pressures to 50,000 psi (3445 bar). The ES-675 uses the same tooling as the Mark V, and offers Tube-LocTM capability (non-simultaneous use). Unlike the Mark V, the ES-675 features all analog gauges,and is housed in a much smaller...

HYDROSWAGE® TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES 1” to 2” Hydroswage ® Expanding Mandrels { Part No. 42170 { { Part No. 41613 5/8” to 1” Designed to provide one step high pressure swage regardless of the tube-sheet thickness, HydroSwage® expanding mandrels feature a patented segmented seal support system which enables the HydroSwage® System to develop and hold high pressures with minimal seal extrusion. Mandrels are available in .5 mm increments (diameter) and in adjustable lengths which permit exact expansion zone settings. The expansion zone of any mandrel can be tightly controlled assuring full depth...

STRAIN CONTROL SLEEVING SYSTEM PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION STEP 1 Most heat exchangers are designed with a certain amount of extra tube capacity to allow a percentage of tubes to be plugged during the life of the exchanger. Two primary causes of tube failure, which often result in tubes being plugged or replaced, are erosion and corrosion. In fact heat exchangers are often completely re-tubed to repair tube failures which occur only at the tube ends. The HydroSwage® Strain Control Sleeving System 43101 offers an economical method of prolonging the life of aging or failing heat exchanger tubes...
