Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive technical information on tube expanding techniques and tools by TRITORC INC., focusing on applications in heat exchangers, condensers, and boilers. It also covers tube cleaning tools and accessories.
Basic Principles of Tube Expanding: Tube expanding involves compressing the tube's outer diameter against a fixed container to ensure a proper joint. Key steps include determining tube hole size, tube O.D., and using a gauge to measure I.D. before and after rolling. A formula is provided to calculate expansion, with recommended wall reduction percentages for different materials.
Material Guidelines: Recommended wall reduction percentages are outlined for various materials: Copper & Cupro Nickel (8-10%), Steel, Carbon Steel & Admiralty Brass (7-8%), and Stainless Steel & Titanium (4-5%).
Tools and Equipment: Various tube expanders and tools are listed, categorized by series such as TN, T-900/1300, and T-800/1200, with specifications for tube O.D., I.D., and expansion capabilities.
Test Chart for Tube Expansion: A test chart is provided to determine proper tube expansion, including measurements for tube sheet hole size, tube O.D., clearance, and I.D. before and after rolling.
Conclusion: The document serves as a guide for professionals in tube expanding, offering specifications, procedures, and best practices for high-quality tube joints.
Tube Cleaning Tools and Accessories: Specifications and guidelines for tube cleaning tools, including brushes, flexible shafts, and repair tools, are detailed. Tools are designed for tubes with varying diameters and materials.
Specifications: Includes U-Tube Tools, Cup Brush Tools, Wheel Brush Tools, and Cobalt Tip Tools for cleaning tubes with sharp bends. Flexible shafts are available for wet and dry applications.
Procedures: Instructions for shaft repair and maintenance, and guidelines for brush selection based on tube I.D. are provided.
Tools and Accessories: Combination tools, wing tools, and scraper tools are described for cleaning tubes with hard deposits.
Recommendations: Effective cleaning requires selecting tools and brushes slightly smaller than the tube I.D. Regular maintenance of flexible shafts is recommended.
Flexible Shaft Lubricator and Repair Kits: Describes the TFSL-1 Flexible Shaft Lubricator and TLUBE lubricant, with repair kits for flexible shafts.
Portable Pneumatic Tube Cleaners: These cleaners use hollow shafts to dislodge deposits, with models specified for different tube sizes.
Specifications and Recommendations: Detailed specifications for tube expansion in heat exchangers and condensers are provided, with guidelines for expanding tubes of various O.D. and gauges.
Special Tables: Includes tables outlining Birmingham Wire Gauges for various tube sizes, essential for determining appropriate expansion and clearance.
Enduring Solutions: Highlights 'Enduring Solutions' as a provider of hydraulic torque wrenches and bolting products, offering on-site bolting and machining services.

Enduring Solutions Test Chart For Determining Proper Amount of Tube Expansion Tube Expanding is the art of reducing a tube wall by compressing the O.D. of the tube against a fixed container such as rolling tubes into tube sheets, drums, ferrules or flanges. To assure a proper tube joint, the tube wall must be reduced by a predetermined percentage. The following chart can be used for determining the correct tube wall reduction. This chart shows a typical 3/4” - 16 gauge tube. Before rolling this tube you should check the rolling dimensions as listed. A. First determine the tube hole size. B. Determine...
