Description

Expand Copper Pipe + Beading are metalworking processes that involve using tools to reshape the end of a copper pipe.

To perform edge expand of copper pipe, a specialized cnc tooling is used to gradually stretch the end of the tube outward, increasing its diameter. This is typically done to create a flared end that can be connected to other plumbing components.

Bead forming involves using a tool to press a ridge or bump into the end of the tube. This creates a raised surface, or “bead,” that secure the tube in place when it is connected to other components.

These tube parts are commonly used to transport fluids or gases in the manufacturing of air conditioning and refrigeration systems,
