What precaution must be taken when deburring a tube after it has been cut?

When deburring a tube after it has been cut, maintaining the integrity of the tube's wall thickness is crucial. If the wall thickness is reduced or fractured during the deburring process, it can compromise the structural integrity and overall safety of the tube, especially in high-pressure applications or where strength is essential. Tubes are often used in systems that depend on their ability to withstand stresses and pressures, so any alteration that weakens the material could lead to failure.

While it is also important to completely remove burrs to prevent issues such as wear on seals or other components, the priority should be on preventing any reduction in the wall thickness since this affects the strength and performance of the tube directly. Therefore, ensuring the wall remains intact and robust is a priority during the deburring process.
