Heavy Wall Tubing is built to withstand high pressures.
July 30, 2008 -
Tubing is available that has undergone autofrettage process, which subjects internal bore to pressure high enough to plastically deform it. This results in putting inner wall into compression, providing residual compressive stress once pressure is released. Use of this technique helps extend tube fatigue life.

Maxpro Technologies Now Offers Autofrettage Heavy Wall High Pressure Tubing
Fairview, PA - July 23,2008 - Autofrettage is the process of subjecting the internal bore of tubing to a pressure sufficiently high enough to plastically deform the bore, resulting in putting the inner wall into compression, providing a residual compressive stress once the pressure is released. Autofrettage produces improved fatigue life of the tube.
Maxpro's stock of high pressure tubing, valves and fittings are available for fast shipment from inventory. With this new capability to autofrettage tubing, customers can continue to expect the high level of service and quick turnaround that Maxpro Technologies is known for.
Maxpro Technologies is the North American distributor of Maximator high pressure valves and fittings as well as power products including liquid pumps, gas boosters and air amplifiers. Maxpro also designs and manufactures various pressure systems utilizing these Maximator power products as the main power source.
