How To Use A Tube Expander

Oct 02, 2025

Pipe expanders are critical equipment for pipe expansion in industrial applications. Proper operation improves efficiency and ensures quality. The operating procedure includes:

1. Safety check (stable power supply, equipment operating normally);

2. Mold installation (selecting a suitable mold based on the pipe material and ensuring it is securely fixed);

3. Parameter adjustment (pressure 20-30MPa, time 5-10 seconds, temperature 150-200°C, etc., must be matched to the pipe material and thickness);

4. Start the equipment after accurately positioning the pipe and monitor in real time to prevent deviation. Pipe expanders are renowned for their high precision (error ±0.1 mm), high efficiency (30% capacity increase), and durability (life exceeding 100,000 cycles). Regular maintenance and the use of special lubricants (such as ISO VG68 lubricant) are required. Suitable for applications such as oil pipelines and heat exchangers, significantly reducing processing scrap rates. Pipe expanders and custom molds are available.
