In a shell and tube heat exchanger, every tube needs to be securely connected to the tube sheets that hold the bundle together. ⚙️ Tube expansion achieves this by enlarging the tube ends within the tube sheet holes, creating close contact between the two metal surfaces. The amount of expansion…

The work speaks for itself. The consistency behind it is what makes it possible. 💻: www.altexinc.com . . . #tombrady #manufacturing #heatexchanger #yeg #consistency #fyp

It's all coming together. Finned tube installation is where the Air-Cooled Heat Exchanger starts taking shape and gets ready for service at our client's site. 💻: www.altexinc.com #aircooledheatexchanger #heatexchanger #fintubes #manufacturing #fabrication #edmonton

A Go/No Go gauge ensures that our tube rolling was performed to specification. Every single tube's ID is checked with this gauge and the results documented. We work to ensure a leak-free start-up for clients. It's a simple step, but one that plays a big role in delivering quality. 💻…

Automation has its place, but some work still relies on experience and a skilled operator. 👨‍🔧 Like the manual flange machining you see here. 💻: www.altexinc.com #flangemachining #machining #trades #yeg #fyp #fypシ
