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
- Oil & Gas: Flared pipes for flare stacks, swaged nipples for size
transitions in pipelines.
- Plumbing & HVAC: Flared copper tubes in refrigeration; swaged pipes
in compressors & condensers.
- Automotive & Aerospace: Precision-engineered flared/swaged pipes
for fuel, hydraulic, and exhaust systems.
- Chemical & Pharmaceutical: Stainless pipes ensuring
contamination-free and corrosion-resistant transport.
- Construction & Structural: Swaged pipes for scaffolding, piling,
and support systems.
- Marine & Offshore: Nickel alloys and stainless steel pipes for
seawater and offshore systems.
- Power Generation: Alloy steel pipes in steam lines and flared pipes
in instrumentation systems.
How Flared and Swaged Pipes Are Used
- Flaring: For compression fittings, connecting to valves, pumps, and
flare stacks in oil & gas.
- Swaging: For pipe size transition, reinforcement, and permanent
joints in structural systems.
