The present disclosure is directed to multichannel tubes that can be expanded to assemble the multichannel tubes within plate fin heat exchangers. The multichannel tubes each include several generally parallel flow paths, which are separated from one another by deformable webs slanted in a common direction across a width of the multichannel tubes. The webs may deform upon expansion of the tubes with a high pressure fluid. During expansion, the webs may stretch, shift positions, and/or change ...
