Tube Assembly

Tompkins specializes in partnering with OEMs to provide a full range of custom products, from hydraulic adapters to custom hose and tube kits. We utilize cutting-edge design and precision manufacturing to deliver systems that elevate your equipment’s performance and reliability.

Tube assembly manufacturing is a cornerstone of many industrial applications, weaving together precision engineering with meticulous attention to detail. Central to creating resilient and efficient tubing systems, this manufacturing process encompasses a series of specialized steps that underline the importance of both functionality and longevity.

As industries evolve and requirements become more stringent, the need for advanced joining methods becomes paramount. Enter the world of our proprietary brazing technology—a game-changer in tube assembly, promising unparalleled strength and durability. Through this innovative approach, the boundaries of what’s possible in tube assembly are not just pushed but redefined, setting a new benchmark for excellence. Stay tuned as we delve deeper into this transformative technology and the intricacies of tube assembly manufacturing.

OUR PROPRIETARY COPPER BRAZING TECHNOLOGY

Only the fitting and the tube are heated to the melting temperature of copper, 1981F. The tube itself is not weakened by prolonged heating at high temperatures, resulting in an assembly with up to 30% higher burst pressure.

Braze connections made in minutes. The process does not requite lengthly pre-heat/start up and is ready instantly.

The reducing atmosphere is non-combustable/explosize so the process is intrinsically safe.

Joints are cleaned and ready for plating ot powdercoat with additionaly processing.

The process is more energy efficient and eco-friendly.

Capillary flow of copper can be seen as it happens.
