Boiler Tube Expansion Percentage Limits

Boiler Tube Expansion Percentage Limits

Boiler Tube Expansion Percentage Limits

(OP)
Can anyone help me out with the maximum limit percentage for tube expansion in boilers. I have seen many manufacturers recommending 8 to 10% tube expansion for carbon steel tubes and vessel but I need to know what is the maximum limit that can be considered safe for tube expansion for new boiler.

Thanks
Faisal

RE: Boiler Tube Expansion Percentage Limits

The actual percentage range depends on several factors; tube material, tubesheet thickness and material, etc. What are your design materials and application??
