INTERNAL TUBE CUTTERS
A heat exchanger internal tube cutter is a specialized tool used to cut and remove damaged or leaking tubes from a heat exchanger or boiler, especially near the tube sheet, by operating from the inside to create clean cuts for subsequent extraction, preventing plug ejection and simplifying retubing. These tools, often powered by air or electric drills, feature rotating cutting bits and adjustable reach to cut tubes close to the sheet for efficient stub removal, essential for maintenance.
