What is pre swaging?
TurnPro Preswaging Tools allow in-field swaging of tube fitting ferrules to tube prior to assembly in the tube fitting. Preswaging is used when it might be difficult to install tube fittings in difficult to reach or confined-space applications.
What is swaging of tube?
Swaging is a cold forming operation used to reduce the outside and inside diameter of a tube. It is useful for medical, industrial and aerospace applications (such as landing gear tubes and aircraft instrumentation) where a diameter reduction is required but a multi piece assembly is not desired or is too expensive.
What is the difference between a swaged and a flared end tube ends?
The big difference is that flaring is shallower and a different shape. It creates a funnel at the end of the tube. Swaging on the other hand is deeper and you can expand the diameter further along the tube to create a flute shape.
What is the process of swaging?
Swaging is a process that is used to reduce or increase the diameter of tubes and/or rods. This is done by placing the tube or rod inside a die that applies compressive force by hammering radially.
What is a swaged bearing?
Swaging a bearing into a housing means either flaring its groove’s lips onto the chamfer of the housing, or flaring the housing’s material over the edge of the bearing.
How far is tubing inserted into a swaged joint?
Place the Tubing in the Flaring Tool The end of the tube should extend about 1/8 inch (about the height of a nickel) from the flaring tool.
Why do we use swaging?
Tube swaging seeks to increase the inside diameter of tubing, eliminate the need for additional fittings (which can potentially save money) and reduce the opportunity for leaks. Often a flaring tool kit will come with swaging bits or die blocks to convert a flaring bar into a swaging bar.
What is a flaring and swaging tool?
What are flaring and swaging tools? These are the tools used to flare out the end of copper pipes and tubing to snugly attach to fittings or other pipes or tubes. With these tools, create a flared or conical end to the pipe or tube. Tubing flare is at a 45-degree angle, whereas pipe flaring is at a 37-degree angle.
What is a pre swage tool for fittings?
Pre swage tool for Swagelok and Parker fittings Automatic Pre-swage tool to compress ferrules onto Teflon®, Copper or Stainless Steel tubing. By pre-swaging a fitting (s) onto a tube, it solves three problems. First, it allows users to pre-install the fittings at a sub assembly level.
What is Swagelok pre-insulated traced tubing?
Swagelok pre-insulated traced tubing bundles provide reliable process temperature maintenance in a variety of analytical and process instrumentation applications, including impulse lines, sample lines, and process lines . It is used to connect process lines to pressure transmitters and analyzers .
What is pre-swaging and how does it work?
Pre-swaging a fitting (s) onto a tube solves three problems: First, it allows users to pre-install the fittings at a sub assembly level. By doing so, it gives the operator a chance to inspect the quality of the crimped assembly after the tubular assembly is removed from the pre-swaging device.
Do you offer automatic pre-swage tools?
We offer automatic pre-swage tools to compress ferrules onto Teflon®, copper or stainless steel tubing. Pre-swaging a fitting (s) onto a tube solves three problems:
