The document provides instructions for installing and expanding tubes in tube sheets. It specifies that tube ends should protrude 1/4 to 3/4 inches past the tube sheet and have an outside diameter 1/8 inches larger than the tube sheet hole. Tubes should also be rolled past the back of the tube sheet by 1/4 to 3/8 inches. When setting the expander, the high point of the roll should be located about 1/8 inches inside the back of the tube sheet and the thrust collar must touch the tube sheet.

Short straight roll set approx half way
into tube sheet. Tube rolled 3/8 back of tube sheet. Flared tube diameter 1/8 larger than tube sheet hole.
Step Rolling (thick tube sheet)
The ends of all tubes, suspension tubes, and nipples of water tube boilers and superheaters shall project through the tube sheets or headers not less than 1/4 nor more than 3/4 before flaring. Where tubes enter at an angle, the maximum limit of 3/4 shall apply only at point of least projection. The tubes shall be expanded and flared to an outside diameter of at least 1/8 greater than the diameter of the tube hole or they may be flared, rolled and welded except as provided in pwt 11.2; or rolled and seal welded without flaring
provided the throat of the seal weld is not more than 3/8 and tubes are re-expanded after welding. 1. Tubes to protrude inside drum 1/4 minimum to 3/4 maximum. 2. Outside diameter of are to be 1/8 larger than tube sheet hole. 3. Tube to be rolled past back of tube sheet 1/4 to 3/8.
Setting Condenser Expander
Locate high point of roll approx 1/8 inside back of tube sheet and thrust collar must be touching tube sheet.

Setting Boiler Expander
To determine length of steps, divide the estimated number of stepsinto the length of area to be rolled. This length must be at least 1/4 shorter than the effective length of the 2R roll. 1-1/2 long rolls have maximum e ective length of 1; 2-1/4 long rolls have maximum e ective length of 1-3/4
Double Tube Sheet Application
Primary tube sheet would be rolled with a 800 type expander with roll located per example. Note! E ective length of roll to be speci- ed based on secondary tube sheet thickness. Secondary tube sheet would be rolled with a 1200 type expander with 2R type rolls as per example.
