This document calculates the expansion of tubes in a 170 ton per hour bagasse boiler. It determines that the maximum allowed expanded tube inner diameter is 60.55mm, which is an expansion of 8% from the original tube inner diameter of 59.42mm. This expansion accounts for a tube thickness of 2.04mm and a 0.8mm seat clearance between the tube and tube sheet hole.
