The Sapsons Condenser Tube Expander - 1200 Series is a long-reach mechanical tube expanding tool designed for expanding and fastening condenser and heat-exchanger tubes into thick tube sheets. It is widely used in the manufacturing and maintenance of heat exchangers, condensers, boilers, and process equipment.
Key Features :
• Designed for higher thickness tube sheets where deeper tube expansion is required.
• Suitable for heat exchangers and condensers with long tube engagement lengths.
• Available in different reach configurations for various tube sheet depths.
• Uses precision rollers and mandrels to produce a strong, leak-proof mechanical joint.
• Compatible with pneumatic or electric tube expansion drives.
Technical Specifications :
Parameter Specification
Tube OD Range : 1/2' to 1½' OD
Tube ID Range : 0.334' (8.4 mm) to 1.43' (36.3 mm)
Roller Lengths Available : 1½' (38.1 mm) and 2¼' (57.1 mm)
Expansion Length Range : 1½' (38.1 mm) to 12¾' (323.6 mm)
Application : Condensers, heat exchangers, thick tube sheets
Applications :
• Surface condensers
• Shell and tube heat exchangers
• Oil coolers
• Power plant condensers
• Petrochemical process equipment
• HVAC heat transfer systems
Working Principle :
The tool is inserted into the tube ID and rotated using a drive unit. Hardened rollers expand the tube outward against the tube sheet hole, creating a tight mechanical bond and leak-proof seal through controlled cold working.
Advantages :
• Ensures uniform tube expansion
• Reduces leakage risk
• Suitable for deep tube sheet applications
• High durability and precision
• Available in extended reach versions for special jobs
