HX Tube Extraction Needed
HX Tube Extraction Needed
(OP)
I have a small-diameter shell-and-tube exchanger with 3/4" SS tubes, expanded and seal welded at both ends. I am situated in the Hamilton, Ontario area, and I need the name of a shop capable of extracting the tubes without totally destroying them. A heat exchanger constructor would be ideal, as it will later be retubed.

that has been rolled and seal welded since you have to drill out the seal weld and then break the rolled area loose. As you didn't mention any gauge you may have to have to add a section to each to to get the length back to nominal. Both these companies offer consultation. One thing we have done to facilitate removing seal welds is to use a piloted flat face drill bit.
