    This document provides a procedure for tube expansion in a bank fin fan cooler. It describes the necessary tools, including a compressor, gun expander, tube expander, and oil. Tube, tube sheet hole, and groove dimensions are specified for expansion calculation. The tube expansion calculation shows the tube ID after expansion should be 19.83-19.88 mm based on a 1" x 3.048 mm tube expanded into a 25.65 mm tube sheet hole. Cleaning of tubes and preparation of tube sheet holes and grooves is also outlined.

    This procedure describes the tube expansion for the Bank Fin Fan
    Coolerc in accordance with ASME Code Section VIII, Division 1 and 2 and
    API 661.

    2.0 Tool Equipment

    The minimum tool needed as follow:


    2.1 Compressor
