Flaring machines and equipment

The flaring machines and equipment offered on the Hydron website are specialized tools designed for preparing hydraulic tubes for connection by creating conical ends. The range includes manual and hydraulic devices, enabling precise and durable flaring in accordance with technical requirements. This equipment is dedicated to both workshops and industrial applications, guaranteeing reliability and high quality of connections. Flaring allows for the creation of cones used in UNF threads

Why is tube flaring used?

Tube flaring is a technological process that involves rolling or reaming the end of a tube to create a conical shape. This allows for a tight and durable connection of components in hydraulic, pneumatic, refrigeration, and other piping systems. This technique is widely used in various industries, such as the automotive industry, HVAC, or power hydraulics. What is tube flaring? Flaring involves appropriately shaping the end of the tube by expanding it into a conical form, usually at an angle of 37° or 45°. Such processing allows for better fitting of the tube to the fittings and ensures the tightness of the connection without the need for additional seals or binders.

Advantages and benefits of using tube flaring

Tube flaring brings many benefits that make it a popular method in piping systems: Connection tightness - The flaring process allows for extremely tight connections, which minimizes the risk of leaks and losses of the flowing medium. Resistance to high pressures - Thanks to the proper fitting of the flared elements, the connection is able to withstand high pressures, which is crucial in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. No need for additional sealants - The angular formation of the tube end creates a natural seal in contact with the fitting, which eliminates the need for sealing tapes, pastes, or rubber gaskets. Easy assembly and disassembly - Flared connections are easy to disassemble and reassemble, allowing for quick maintenance and replacement of system components. Better resistance to vibration - Flared connections are more resistant to vibrations and variable operating conditions, which is particularly important in the automotive and aerospace industries. Time and cost savings - Tube flaring is a relatively fast process, and by eliminating the need for additional seals or adhesives, operating costs are reduced.

Applications of tube flaring

Tube flaring is widely used in many industrial sectors, including: power hydraulics – for connecting high-pressure lines in hydraulic systems, refrigeration and air conditioning installations – where tight connections of copper tubes are required, automotive industry – in fuel and braking systems, aerospace industry – in aircraft hydraulic and pneumatic systems, construction – in water and sewage systems.
