Full Description

A ferrule is a tube-end insert designed to protect a tube end or help restore a tube end for service. The legacy catalogue describes a short-length insert fitted into the end of a tube as an alternative to replacing the entire tube, subject to suitability. SAREL Engineers also describes ferrule forming and machining to customer requirements. The source further references tube swaging, control of outside diameter, and tube plugs. Each repair method must be assessed against the equipment design, service conditions, and applicable engineering requirements.
