Condenser Tube Expander – 1200 Series

The Sapsons Condenser Tube Expander – 1200 Series is a long-reach tube expanding tool used for expanding condenser and heat-exchanger tubes into thick tube sheets. It is specially designed for applications requiring deeper and longer tube expansion lengths in condensers, boilers, and heat exchangers.

In Summary.

  • Designed for high-thickness tube sheets and long reach applications.
  • Suitable for tube sizes from 1/2″ to 1½” OD.
  • Works with tube IDs ranging from 0.334″ (8.4 mm) to 1.43″ (36.3 mm).
  • Available with roller lengths of 1½” and 2¼”.
  • Expansion length range from 1½” to 12¾”.
  • Provides strong, leak-proof tube-to-tube sheet joints through mechanical rolling expansion.
  • Commonly used in heat exchangers, condensers, power plants, refineries, and process industries.

Description

The Sapsons Condenser Tube Expander – 1200 Series is a long-reach mechanical tube expanding tool designed for expanding and fastening condenser and heat-exchanger tubes into thick tube sheets. It is widely used in the manufacturing and maintenance of heat exchangers, condensers, boilers, and process equipment.

Key Features :

  • Designed for higher thickness tube sheets where deeper tube expansion is required.
  • Suitable for heat exchangers and condensers with long tube engagement lengths.
  • Available in different reach configurations for various tube sheet depths.
  • Uses precision rollers and mandrels to produce a strong, leak-proof mechanical joint.
  • Compatible with pneumatic or electric tube expansion drives.

Technical Specifications :

Parameter Specification
Tube OD Range 1/2″ to 1½” OD
Tube ID Range 0.334″ (8.4 mm) to 1.43″ (36.3 mm)
Roller Lengths Available 1½” (38.1 mm) and 2¼” (57.1 mm)
Expansion Length Range 1½” (38.1 mm) to 12¾” (323.6 mm)
Application Condensers, heat exchangers, thick tube sheets

 Applications :

  • Surface condensers
  • Shell and tube heat exchangers
  • Oil coolers
  • Power plant condensers
  • Petrochemical process equipment
  • HVAC heat transfer systems

Working Principle :

The tool is inserted into the tube ID and rotated using a drive unit. Hardened rollers expand the tube outward against the tube sheet hole, creating a tight mechanical bond and leak-proof seal through controlled cold working.

Advantages :

  • Ensures uniform tube expansion
  • Reduces leakage risk
  • Suitable for deep tube sheet applications
  • High durability and precision
  • Available in extended reach versions for special job
