unexpanded & expanded length of tube totubesheet joint
(OP)
in tube to tube sheet joint, certain unexpanded length is maintained. What is the purpose of keeping unexpanded length? What would happen if entire length is expanded except the end portion at shell side where if tube is expanded,it may get damaged.

As regards Part UHX, shallower expansion depth can increase calculated tubesheet thickness.

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand

Are you welding before expanding or expanding before welding?
When you expand the connection after welding, the 9mm free from weld secures that the amount of mechanical loading on the weld due to expanding is minimal.

This is what your detail appears to show.
