The key thing to remember when it comes to tube expansion is that in order to expand the end of a tube to a larger diameter, additional material is needed. This has to come from somewhere and the end result of the process is that the wall thickness and the length will shrink to allow it. It is important to take this into account when basic tubing is being manufactured to ensure there is enough excess material to facilitate expansion and avoid creating flaws in the finished tubes.

A standard piece of tube can be adapted in a number of ways, including reducing or expanding the diameter at various points along the length. When this is required, it is crucial to keep the wall thickness in mind and ensure that the process doesn’t result in a flaw in the structure of the tube. Care also must be taken if the grain of the material needs to be maintained. For both of these reasons it is important to have an experienced manufacturer do the job. Continue reading →

There are several cases when a tube needs to have holes drilled in it, but it is most commonly done to allow components to be attached together as part of a larger product. The holes need to be properly positioned so they line up, allowing the bolts or rivets to hold the pieces together. If they don’t line up, the part will be unusable and need to be remade.

With the summer nights starting to feel a little cooler, many of us have considered giving our home heating systems a test run ahead of the winter. It is always advisable to do this around the end of August or during September, as this lets you know that it’s working as it should be before you need it. In most cases it turns out to be running as expected, but there’s always going to be a few who find that their home central heating needs to be repaired or replaced. Continue reading →

CNC machining has revolutionised manufacturing but there is one area that it has not has a big impact on: tubing. Tubes are still best made using more traditional techniques such as bending, rolling and manipulation. These allow products to be made efficiently, to a high standard, and cost effectively.
