Tube Expansion

Welcome To Tube Expansion

We are one of the UK's leading providers of tube manufacturing and manipulation services. We deliver quality products to suit all kinds of requests, catering for the needs of clients from a variety of different industries. We are highly skilled and have the knowledge to create accurate tubing that matches the shape and dimensions you have in mind.

Our services are very broad, encompassing a wide range of techniques so we can meet the needs of our clients. Whether you need seamless or ERW tubing, we can provide it for you. You can also decide what properties you require from your tubular components, including the structural strength, the finish and the temperature resistance. Once the lengths of tube themselves are manufactured, we can adapt them for you in a number of ways.

Tube expansion is the process of increasing the diameter of tubing to make it match given specifications. The technique is used to form end pieces and create unique shapes in pipes, among various other purposes. It is more effective than bespoke fabrication because it saves time and will help you to maintain the shape of the tube while it is expanded. For speed and accuracy, there is no better way to increase the dimensions.

Tubes can be expanded in two ways; either by using a solid, tapered die or with a segmented hydraulic expanding one. Both rely on pressure to expand the tube, but the second technique offers more flexibility because the die can be set to your dimensions. Tapered dies are designed for a single purpose so they require a little extra manufacturing cost.

We are so experienced at tube expansion that we can offer it for various types of tubing, including steel, copper, aluminium and many other materials. Our equipment is top of the line to ensure we meet the highest standards, delivering products that accurately meet your specifications. We understand how important precision is and only sell tubes that we are completely happy with.

If you're looking for bespoke tubing that is expanded to different dimensions without losing any of its strength or integrity, we can cater for your requirements. You can discuss your needs with us personally by getting in touch; we always enjoy hearing from prospective customers. One off tubes or batches can be offered to suit your needs.
