Welding has become fairly common practice in pressure vessel fabrication and maintenance. From tube ends to plugs, welding can provide additional strength or sealing coverage if done correctly. 

Boiler tube removal can be an extremely difficult process, and the method used will vary depending on the application. The amount of expansion as well as the age of the tube and whether or not it was welded will all impact the removal process.

In order to get a job done quickly and effectively, it’s important operators have the proper tooling on hand.
