Enlarging one tube end so the end of another tube of the same size will fit inside is termed _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) swaging.
Swaging is the process of enlarging the end of a tube or pipe so that another tube or pipe of the same size can be inserted into it. This is commonly done in plumbing and other metalworking applications to create a secure, leak-proof connection between two tubes.
The other options are incorrect because:
B) Flaring refers to expanding the end of a tube outward, not enlarging it to fit another tube inside.
C) Stretching means lengthening the tube, not enlarging the end.
D) Belling is a similar process to swaging, but it specifically refers to enlarging the end of a plastic pipe, not a metal tube.
