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
