When you expand the end of a tube, you open up a world of possibilities for its potential use. The process of tube expansion allows tubes to be tightly fitted together with no room for leaks. We use two main methods of tube expansion to achieve the best results. Ram forming is a type of tube expansion and involves using a die as a mould. Pressure is applied to the die to force it into the tube end, forming the shape around the die. However, this process is sometimes seen as having limitations; because the die is a specific size, it can only produce a small amount of diameters.

Another method that we use involves a hydraulic operated expanding die, which contains segments and is less restricting than ram forming. These segments make it easier to create different diameters. One of the major advantages with this method is the fact that the die is able to open and close to tiny degrees, leaving the tube with extremely accurate measurements. This process is ideal for tubes that require tight fitting joints, a vital quality in many industries.

Over the years we have worked with a variety of different companies, organisations and individuals meaning that we are highly regarded. Our comprehensive and structured service, in partnership with our friendly approach, is what has contributed to our stellar reputation. We have spent a lot of time working with tubes and understanding how to perfect the practice of tube manipulation, tube expansion and reduction. During this time, we have also developed outstanding techniques to ensure that we are able to meet all of our clients’ needs, however specific they may be.

Due to the fact that we have invested our time, effort and money in state of the art equipment, we are able to deliver tubes in an endless range of sizes, shapes and materials to suit your requirements. The best thing about our service is the fact that the tube’s durability is not lost through our manipulation, which is something that cannot be said for services similar to ours.
