Boiler tube flared-end compression tool

摘要

The compression tool assembly (100) that is useful in connection with the removal of boiler tube (12) flared-end segments from retention within power boiler header walls is provided with oppositely paired compression jaw elements (130, 132, 134, 136) that are rotated to cause the wall of longitudinally gapped boiler tube (12) flared-end segment to be compressed into a cross-section configuration that permits comparatively easy tube segment withdrawal.
