Grooving Tools – ‘GT + TW’ Series

Grooving tool are used to create precise grooves in the ends of tubes, usually during the production or maintenance of heat exchangers, boilers, and condensers. These grooves improve mechanical grip and sealing when the tubes are extended into tube sheets, reducing leaks and improving overall installation reliability. Torso Tools grooving tools are designed for efficiency, accuracy, and long-term performance in harsh industrial conditions.

Grooving is commonly used in the manufacture and maintenance of heat exchangers, boilers, and condensers which improves the mechanical bond between the tube and the tube sheet during the tube expansion process. This increases joint strength, reduces slippage, and assures a leak-free seal in high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Torso Tools' grooving tools are engineered for precise, efficient grooving in a variety of industrial tube installation applications.

To use a grooving tool on the tube sheet. Once positioned, rotate the tool (manually or with a motorized drive) so that the cutting blades generate regular grooves inside the tube. These grooves provide traction throughout the tube expansion process, resulting in a secure and leak-proof junction. Torso Tools' grooving tools are designed for ease of use, precision, and reproducibility in industrial tube installation applications.
