Eagle is proud to offer precision tube end forming services, customized to nearly any unique specifications. Flaring and end reduction of tubing an everyday precision process at Eagle. We’ve worked to perfect our processes, developing special tools and procedures to ensure repeatability for proper mating of flare and end-reduced tubes. Closed-end tubes are spun closed and welded shut in various end configurations including round, flat or pointed. Flaring or Flanging can create a conical or spherical shape at the end of the tube, allowing for a better connection with other components.
Some advantages to end forming tubes is an enhanced tube strength, connectivity improvements and increased sealing capabilities. All finished tubes are tested to ensure there is no porosity or leakage. Creating a leak free component is crucial in applications where keeping fluid or gas contained is essential.
