    The document outlines the procedure for removing tubes from a boiler drum. The procedure involves cutting the tube ends with an acetylene torch, heating the inside of the tube with a heating torch to expand it, cooling the tube to create clearance from the drum plate, and using a hammer to remove the tube. For inaccessible tubes, slots must be cut to allow the tube ends to be removed from the boiler drums.

    Tube Removal

    Tube which have failed or which must be renewed because of danger of failure can be removed
    according to the following procedure.

    (1) Cut off the tube with the acetylene torch at both drum ends.

    (2) Sufficiently heat the tube inside surface with the heating torch (about 600 ℃-800 ℃)

    (3) After heating, immediately cool the tube inside with water, repeat these step until a clearance is
    made between the tube and the drum plate.

    (4) Strike the tube tip with a hammer till the tube comes out.

    (5) In case of the groove being on the inside surface of the drum tube holes, it will be necessary to
    gouge the tube inside with gouging tool.

    For inaccessible tubes that cannot be cut close to the drums, the procedure is similar except that the
    slots must be cut and that tube ends come out the boiler drums.
