At Kalyros Engineering LLP, we specialize in the advanced techniques of flaring and swaging pipes, delivering high-quality, precision-engineered solutions for a wide range of industrial applications. Our expertise ensures durable, reliable, and efficient piping systems tailored to meet the unique needs of industries such as oil and gas, plumbing, HVAC, automotive, aerospace, and more.

What Are Flaring and Swaging?

Flaring expands the end of a pipe into a conical or bell shape to create a wider opening for secure, leak-proof connections. Common in plumbing and refrigeration, flaring enables tight seals without welding.

Swaging reshapes or reduces the diameter of a pipe end to fit into smaller fittings or connect to another pipe. It is widely used for swage nipples or reducing nipples in piping systems, offering strength and adaptability.

Both processes are critical where precision and reliability are paramount. At Kalyros Engineering LLP, we employ state-of-the-art equipment and skilled craftsmanship to meet the highest standards.

How Kalyros Engineering LLP Manufactures Flared and Swaged Pipes

Our process combines advanced machinery, strict quality control, and skilled expertise to ensure every pipe meets international standards.

• Material Selection: High-quality stainless steel, carbon steel, copper, aluminum, or alloy pipes.
• Cutting & Preparation: Pipes are cut, deburred, and cleaned for smooth shaping.
• Flaring Operation: Conical dies expand pipe ends (typically 37° or 45°) using hydraulic or CNC machines.
• Swaging Operation: Rotary or die-based swaging reduces or reshapes pipe ends, done hot or cold.
• Inspection & Quality Control: Each pipe is checked for dimensional accuracy, strength, and finish.
• Finishing: Pipes undergo cleaning, coating, or passivation for corrosion resistance.

Materials and Grades Used

• Stainless Steel: 304, 316, 321, 347 – for chemical, marine, and pharma use.
• Carbon Steel: ASTM A53, A106, API 5L – ideal for oil & gas pipelines and high-pressure systems.
• Copper & Alloys: ASTM B88, B280 – excellent for plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration.
• Alloy Steel: ASTM A335 grades – for power and petrochemical industries.
• Nickel Alloys: Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy – resistant to harsh, corrosive environments.
• Aluminum: 6061, 6063 – lightweight, corrosion-resistant, used in aerospace and automotive.
• Other Exotic Alloys: Titanium, Duplex SS, etc. for specialized requirements.

Applications of Flared and Swaged Pipes
