Basic Principles Of Tube Expanding |
Tube Expanding is based on engineering principles, involving elasticity and plasticity, to compress the OD of the tube against a fixed container. To assure a proper tube joint, the tube wall must be reduced by a predetermined percentage. The following chart can be used for determining the correct tube wall reduction. |
