Elliott introduces the Tube Titan: an all-new modular tube preparation system that delivers durability, speed, and consistency for shell and tube applications.
Surface finish in medical devices affects sterilization, wear resistance, and implant longevity. Learn how burnishing meets Ra requirements and improves hardness in a single operation.
Heat and debris are the two biggest threats to burnishing quality. Learn how coolant flow, fluid concentration, and filtration affect your finish and tool life.
As fuel sources shift toward biomass and alternative energy, boiler deposits change too. Here's what plant operators and maintenance technicians need to know about keeping heat exchangers clean.
Welded tube-to-tubesheet joints present unique removal and maintenance challenges in the field — here's what contractors need to know about proper tooling and technique.
In nuclear heat exchanger applications, there isn't much room for improvisation. The materials are expensive, the access constraints are significant, and mistakes are hard to correct in the field. This article covers what makes sleeve expansion in these settings different and what to account for before tooling is ever specified.
"Header" and "channel" get used interchangeably on job sites, but they describe fundamentally different configurations that require different tooling strategies. Here's how to tell them apart and what each one means for your next job.
From flat faces to contours, roller burnishing tools improve finish, accuracy, and durability. Learn how to apply burnishing to your part.
Learn how to install tubes in a U-tube heat exchanger. Manage tube projection, avoid over-rolling, and protect your bundle long-term.
Discover the key maintenance practices that protect mechanical joining tools, prevent premature wear, and keep joint quality consistent over time.
