ABSTRACT:
A device for mechanically welding a tube to a tube sheet having holes into which the tube is placed. A detonator is provided for detonating explosives for generating gas at a high pressure. A barrel having a perforated section is attached to the detonator for receiving the generated gas. An external disc-shaped stop surrounds the barrel for contacting an area of the tube sheet surrounding the hole. A disc-shaped internal stop is positioned on the barrel at the end of the perforated section opposite the external stop so that gas is mostly confined inside the tube between the external and internal stops.
