Tube expansion is the technique implemented to increase the diameter of tubes. It is just one of the many manipulation services we offer, and allows for the use of tubular products in a variety of industries. When we expand tubes, there are two different methods to consider. Specialised manufacturing tools are required for the successful shaping of materials in tube manipulation and for ram forming expansion we use a die. The process incorporates insertion of the die into the tube with a significant amount of force behind it. Upon retraction of the tube, the end is successfully expanded. Continue reading →

In the food processing industry, it is highly important to ensure that all working environments are free from contaminants. Whether manufacturing, storing or transporting food, it is essential that systems are as clean as possible to ensure there are no knock-on effects to consumers. Stainless steel is widely used in the sector because it means receptacles, pipes and other metallic equipment will have higher levels of corrosion resistance. Many of the steels are also hardened so they can be used for cutting and grinding with minimal chance of snapping. Continue reading →

Precision machinery needs precision components. It is often the case that the diameter of a tube is not required to be the same through the entire length. In these circumstances we apply a process called tube swaging that serves to alter the diameter of the tube in question. Every tube manipulation service we provide offers fantastic flexibility, and swaging is no different. The process can increase or decrease the diameter of a tube easily. Increasing the diameter of a tube is achieved by inserting a die, which results in the tube altering to assume its shape. Decreasing the diameter of the tube involves exterior hammering to force the material to shrink, and by extension the diameter. Continue reading →

The main advantage of tube manipulation is that it enables the transformation of objects without the need for extra materials or removal. We specialise in all kinds of tube bending services, ensuring that we can provide perfectly shaped and manipulated tubes to a wide range of industries. Continue reading →

Steel tubes are strong and versatile, making them useful for a wide range of different applications. They can be manufactured in two different styles, either rolled and welded (ERW) or seamless. Seamed tubes can be made with thicker walls but seamless are known to have more strength because the material creates a complete cylinder without a joint. Continue reading →

Copper is one of the oldest known metals used by humanity. Dating back to roughly 9000 BC, copper has been an incredibly vital part of human life for thousands of years. From currency to weaponry, copper has found itself being used for a huge number of uses. It was even mixed with tin to form the alloy known as bronze which played a hugely important role during human development. Extensively mined and used even to this day, this valuable metal forms the core of many important machinery and systems used in our daily lives. Continue reading →
