I'm learning about expanded tube-tubesheet joints, and am trying to gather some literature on recommended wall reduction values. So far, I've found values listed in API660, and various expansion tool vendor websites (which often don't match).
All of the literature values I've seen are pretty broad (i.e. 6-8% for all stainless and high alloy steels [API660]), and I'm surprised that the recommendations aren't broken out into more grades of steel (i.e. 304ss vs. 2205).
Does anyone have any go-to literature recommendations on tube rolling?
Thank you,
