Tube End Sizer/Hydraulic - BTHThe Model BTH-2 Tube End Sizer is one of a family of four tube end sizers built by TRIDAN. Also, being hydraulically powered, it has an increased capacity for tubes of different materials with larger diameters and heavier wall thicknesses. One additional sizer in this family is the Model BTA-2 Tube End Sizer. Also, this is an air-powered version of the BTH-2, and uses the same tube end sizing collets.

  • Flexpander
  • Porta-Expander
  • Hexpander
  • Qual-Ekon Vertical Expander
