Abstract

The essence of the press distribution of pipes upon creating a press connection “pipe–tube sheet” is considered. An analysis of the design features of the technological equipment has been performed, and proposals have been made for its improvement, which has found application for press distribution of heat exchange pipes in the manufacturing of tubular air heaters for steam boilers and similar heat exchangers for critical purposes for the power, nuclear engineering, and petrochemical industries, among others.
