Abstract:
I. Product and its uses
Flaring tool is used for flaring the pipe-ends
when they are to be secured to the nipples with
the help of nuts. Flaring is done on both
ferrous and non-ferrous pipes. Ferrous pipes
are used when there is very high pressure
the pipe such as on hydraulic processes.
In such cases pipes have to be pre-heated
before flaring. Hand operated flaring tools are
normally used for copper, brass and aluminium
pipes. Normal ranges of pipes used for flaring
are 4 mm to 16 mm dia.
There is good scope for this item in India
as well as developing countries of Africa and
Middle East etc.
