Abstract

The present invention provides a removing method of a tube. Upon removing a tubeincreased in diameter and fixed to a tube-sheet, an inserted portionwhich is fixed to a tube-holeof the tube-sheetis heated and then cooled, thereby reducing its diameter. The inserted portionis loosened from the tube-hole. Then, a regionopposed to a grooveformed in an inner circumference of the tube-hole is heated to a red-hot state, and the tubeis stretched in its axial direction, the red-heated regionis stretched to reduce its diameter and cut the region, thereby pulling out the tubefrom the tube-sheet
