A PROCESS OF FITTING A SHRINK RING

摘要

The process of fitting shrink ring on the channel barrel, such as to the heat exchanger, involves machining the inside surface of the shrink ring and the out side surface of the threaded area of the closure to the designed dimensions. The ring is then uniformly heated to the required temperature. This ring is the heated state is then slid on to the threaded portion of the closure, then it is allowed to cool room temperature when it shrink and tightly fits the enclosure including positive stress on it.
