Make the switch from Lockseam to Seam-welded
Moving to a seam welded tube is a small change with a big impact. From improved productivity and reduced waste to improved efficiency, durability and reliability of the heat exchanger in service. From low tech to high spec.
Seam welded
While a direct comparison between like thicknesses will yield an 800% increase in burst pressure, with some thicknesses not available as a lockseam tube, a 1400% increase in performance to 3,000psi can be achieved. The structural integrity of the weld is such that burst pressure tests always result in substrate failure. This is the best type of failure and indicates that the strength of weld is exactly right for the product.
Lockseam
With lockseam having a limited range of thicknesses available, a thinner gauge, seam welded tube could be substituted for the lockseam and still offer a c.580% increase in burst pressure and a 5-6% increase in heat transfer through conduction.
With the folded join of a lockseam representing a weak point in the tube, burst pressure tests would typically, result in a failure at this point affecting the reliability and durability of the radiator in service.
