Boiler Tube Expanders
Powermaster Industrial Supplies was originally formed in 2001 by a Mechanical Engineer from Great Britain and boiler tube expanders were its main product. After the initial years of hard work and persistence, the company evolved into a workforce distributing tooling worldwide. Basically, a totally independent company, providing a complete range of tools for boiler tube replacement and repair. Altogether we supply boiler tube expanders, removal tools and installation tools for the preparation and insertion of new tubes into boilers. As well, we carry a wide array of cleaning equipment servicing boilers, heat exchangers and all tubular apparatus.
Located in the city of Casselman between Ottawa and Montreal. Powermaster Industrial Supplies can be seen as a major supplier worldwide. Not to mention the easy access to Ottawa International Airport as well as all the major carriers.
As can be seen below are the standard models of Boiler Tube Expanders along with brief explanations of their use within the industry. See the above links to access information on Specialized Tube Expanders including Combination Beading Expanders. Also, these links will guide you to all the installation, removal and cleaning sections of this site.
114 Series Boiler Tube Expanders
The 114 Series Flaring Tube Expander covers tubes from 2.0" OD to 4/1/2" OD. These are specifically used in fire tube boilers and air heaters. The self-contained rolls situated within the cage therefore enable this expander to reach into confined spaces. Overall, this is a general purpose boiler tube expander used for expanding and flaring tubes. More information is available through the below associated link .
A Series
The A Series Expander is straight rolling thus enabling tube expansion from 7/8" OD up to 4.1/2" OD. In essence these expanders are built allowing the rolls to be self-contained and protected within the cage. Unquestionably this is the best mode of tube expansion when flaring is not necessary also taking cost into account. Thus the A Series can be used with other mandrels such as the short series mandrels. See associated PDF link for more information
AF3 Series
The AF3 Series covers all flaring expanders ranging from 7/8" OD up to 4.1/2" OD. The rolls are self-contained within a sturdily constructed cage. This is the most economical option when tubes require flaring. The AF3 series can also be used with the short series mandrels. For more information link below to the associated PDF.
AB Series
The AB Series is a straight rolling boiler tube expander. This expander at the same time is an equally high production tool. It boasts a fitted bearing which in turn reduces frictional heat build-up allowing for longer periods of use. This design incorporates tubes from 7/8" to 4.1/2" OD and tube sheets thicknesses up to 2.5/8". These boiler tube expanders can also be used with the short series mandrels. For more information link below to the associated PDF.
ABF3 Series
The ABF3 Series is a high production flaring boiler tube expander as a result of its fitted bearing thus reducing frictional heat build-up. The design covers tubes from 7/8" to 4.1/2" OD and tube sheet thicknesses of up to 2.5/8". This boiler tube expander can also use the short series mandrels. See below link for PDF for more details.
P-1000 Series
The P-1000 series is used in limited access spaces in mud and steam drums up to 2.3/4" thick. Three flaring rollers prevent ridging of the tube. These boiler tube expanders are also used in with the P-3000 series for extra thick tube sheets up to 5.3/8" thick.
See pdf for details and other mandrels.
P-3000 Series Boiler Tube Expanders
The P-3000 series boiler tube expander can accurately be positioned in the boiler tube in relation to the drum for consistent expansions. Used in boilers with tube sheets or drums thicker than 2.3/4" (70mm). Can be used in conjunction with the P-1000 series when a flared finish is required. is ideal for use in a limited access space. Used in mud and steam drums up to 2.3/4" thick. Totally adjustable so step rolling can be achieved.
See pdf for details and other mandrels.
