ExpanTek Tube Expansion Systems and Tools

Ball Expansion Systems

The ExpanTek® Triplex-Hydro Ball Expansion System is specifically designed for mechanical tube expansion applications. The ball expansion process forces a fluid at high-pressure with a ball through the inside of a tube, resulting in the tube expanding to the desired diameter.

Pressures up to 10,000 psi (689 bar)

Ball Expansion Tools

The ExpanTek® Model 22 Series Ball Expansion Tool provides versatility for use in mechanical tube expansion applications. The Model 22 Tool is designed to send a high-pressure fluid and a chrome steel ball or bullet down the inside of the tube to expand it.
