TGN-PE-03 Cracking in Fire Tube Boile
400°C. Tube plate cracking typically starts at toes of boiler tube fillet welds and grows across the tube plate ligament from one boiler tube to another. Cracking has also occurred from centre-pop marks forming a small notch in the edge of the tube hole with expanded tubes. Ligament cracking is serious.

Basic Principles Of Tube Expanding - Elliott To
Tube Expanding is the art of reducing a tube wall by compressing the O.D. of the tube against a fixed container, such as rolling tubes into tube sheets, drums, ferrules or flanges. To assure a proper tube joint, the tube wall must be reduced by a predetermined percentage.

Tube Failures in High Pressure Boilers - Bright H
There are twenty-two primary reasons for tube failures in a boiler, which can be classified under six major groups. They can be analyzed and corrective and preventive action can taken. Good operating and maintenance practice reduces tube failures. Tube failures during the initial operation period, the normal operation period, and after ten to fifteen years operation show different trends.
