An apparatus and process for expanding polymeric tubing including a bubble of trapped gas within the polymeric tubing. The tubing is expanded by creating a pressure differential between the inside and outside of the tubing such that the pressure inside the tubing is greater than the pressure outside the tubing, thereby causing the tubing to expand. It is possible with the present invention to compensate for loss of gas pressure, thereby increasing the amount of tubing which can be expanded without ceasing production and restarting the process.
