Don’t Overlook The Importance Of A Tube Gauge
Erica Dzomba2023-07-31T10:21:22-05:00Tube Hole Gauges make it easy to accurately measure tube IDs and tube sheet holes found in vessels such as heat exchangers, chillers, and surface condensers.
Selecting An Assisted Tube Rolling System
Erica Dzomba2020-10-06T14:50:44-05:00Assisted tube rolling systems are a great way to increase productivity and decrease cost. Elliott offers 4 quality systems to suit your specific industry and application needs.
Minimum Vs Average Wall Tubes & Why It Matters
Erica Dzomba2019-11-25T14:11:29-05:00Getting the right tools for your application is critical in order to complete the job right the first time. One of the most overlooked factors when ordering tooling, is determining whether you have minimum wall or average wall tubing.
Fabricator Acquires Cost Savings Of 42% With 24 Series
Erica Dzomba2022-06-13T13:05:37-05:00The Plant Manager had heard many product claims before from sales people saying how great their product performs. He was a bit skeptical, but agreed to a production trial to see if the results of the product are what Elliott is claiming.
Best Practices For Expanding Water-Tube Boiler Tubes
Erica Dzomba2022-10-27T11:51:16-05:00The American Society Of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) develops standards to provide consistency and ensure public safety and reliability. While these codes are not always required, they have been widely adopted and implemented across many industries. As a result, it is important to be knowledgeable and aware of these standards prior to beginning a job.
How To Achieve A Proper Bead When Using A Roll Bead Expander
Erica Dzomba2022-06-13T13:05:58-05:00Single roll beading expanders simultaneously expand and bead the tube ends in firetube boiler applications. This tool accomplishes the creation of a pressure-tight tube-to-tube sheet joint, and a beaded tube end, by utilizing the natural feed force built into the expander to push the beading roll against the end of the tube while expansion is taking place.
Tube Expander Design & Usage
Erica Dzomba2023-06-06T16:00:26-05:00Choosing the right expander to suit your needs.
Basic Principles Of Tube Expanding
Erica Dzomba2024-05-28T12:52:34-05:00Tube 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.
Dissatisfied Assembly Manager Finds A Better Way To Save On Tool Costs
Erica Dzomba2019-11-25T14:11:33-05:00"Elliott’s 24 Series Tube Expanders have incredible tool life. Elliott’s 24 Series is saving me over a thousand dollars per month."
Is the free speed RPM of a torque control the best indicator of how fast a tube can be rolled?
Erica Dzomba2019-11-25T14:11:44-05:00For tube expanding it is desirable to roll the tube quickly as it prevents work hardening of the tube and less frictional heat is generated. The limiting factors in this balance of speed vs. power are voltage or pneumatic pressure. These either limit the speed or power being produced.
