Tuff Tube Transition

Tuff Tube Transition (Patent Pending) After numerous years of development and engineering - Tuff Tube Transition has finally arrived! Say goodbye to the same old conventional tube repairs forever! All research points to the vast majority of tube repairs being in the heat affected zone (HAZ) of the tube , at the tube-to-header weld connection. And no wonder this happens - this connection is like welding a tin can (thin walled tube) to a tank (heavy wall header). There is up to a 1500% thermal expansion difference between tube and header! In essence, this extreme thermal expansion difference is causing/allowing the tube to literally pull away from header - at the weaker, heat affected zone. Our revolutionarly Tuff Tube Transition reduces thermal expansion differences up to 750%, allowing for a stronger, more secure and safe connection. Traditional tube repairs generally involve removing a small section of tube, then replacing with new tube material. This process requires full penetration butt welds at the tube-to-tube connection, requiring the inside of tube and header to be 100% purged. Anyone that's performed a tube repair such as this knows that the purging process is not an exact science. At best - its a good guess. There are no valves or other blocks within the HRSG system - a perfect purge comes down to "hoping" it is purged completely and that no oxidation occurs.....until now! Our Tuff Tube Transition is designed to require no butt welds - eliminating purging altogether and guaranteeing that no oxidation occurs. The newly designed and engineered Tuff Tube Transition not only cuts thermal expansion differences in half and eliminates the need for purging - it also extremely reduces the time to make the tube repair. The Tuff Tube Transition can be fit and welded in a couple hours, saving power plants up to 24 hours or more of downtime - per tube repair! The potential savings to a fleet of power plant facilities would add up to millions of dollars per year.
