Tube Expander – 800 Series
In Summery, 800 Series Tube Expander is one of the most commonly used tube expanders worldwide for medium-size tubes and This standard industrial tool is used to expand tubes securely into tube sheets in heat-transfer equipment. It supports tube sizes from 1/2″ to 1-1/2″ OD, offers adjustable roller lengths, and ensures strong, leak-free joints. Due to its precision, versatility, and durability, it is one of the most widely used expanders in maintenance and manufacturing of heat exchangers and condensers.
Description
The 800 Series Tube Expander is a mechanical rolling-type tube expander that works by cold-forming the tube material outward. This creates a tight, leak-proof joint between the tube and the tube sheet, ensuring strong mechanical bonding without welding. The tool typically uses a 3-roller mechanism (or optional 5-roller version) and is driven by manual, pneumatic, or electric tube rolling machines. It ensures uniform expansion without damaging the tube.
Key Features :
- Mechanical expansion principle: Uses rollers and a mandrel to expand tube walls outward.
- Leak-proof joints: Ensures secure sealing in tube sheets.
- Cold working process: Improves joint strength without heat input.
- Simple and reliable design: Suitable for manual, pneumatic, or powered drives (typical for such expanders).
Typical Technical Range (Industry Standard for 800 Series) :
- Tube Outer Diameter Range: 1/2″ to 1-1/2″ (12.7–38.1 mm)
- Tube Sheet Thickness:
- 1/2″ to 1-1/2″ (with 1-1/2″ rollers)
- 1-1/4″ to 2-1/4″ (with 2-1/4″ rollers)
- Roller Options: 1-1/2″ or 2-1/4″ length
- Design: 3-Roll adjustable depth expander
- Drive: Mandrel with square drive for tube rolling motor
- Collar Design: Reversible thrust collar for flush or recessed tube rolling
