Does anyone have experience in crimping off reform furnace tubes (pigtails) while in operation? Have you had any problems with pigtails cracking at the clamp location? Do you use your own personnel or do you have specialized contractor? What type of equipment and clamps do you use?
We have been crimping in the past but due to cracking of a tube during clamping safety issues have arisen. Our clamps are "home built" and maybe our problem. The pigtail material is Inconel 800H 1-1/2" sch 80 and sch 40.
