In a hydraulic method, tubes (3) of an heat exchanger are rolled in in tube plates (1), and rounded tube inlet pieces are formed from the same tube (3) by means of the same device in the same work operation. For this purpose, the tubes (3) are inserted into the bores (2) of a tube plate (1) and cut off with an excess length. The tube (3) is widened by means of a widening machine over the entire depth of the bore (2), so that the tube (3) adheres to the inner wall of the bore (2). At the same time, the projecting tube end (10) is pressed on the mandrel (4) of the widening machine in the direction of the tube plate (1) by means of a further hydraulic shaping device (11) with a swept-back shape (12) until the tube end (10) achieves a trumpet shape. The advantage of the method resides in shortening the operating time with a device which executes both widening and formation of the tube inlet piece hydraulically. Given that the tube inlet piece is produced from the same tube (3), no seam is produced between the tube (3) and tube inlet piece, thus avoiding a site of faltering flow.
