Abstract

A tube cleaner for removing thin hard deposits from the inner surface of a tube has a shaft with a nose portion and tail portion, and two or three scraper elements along the shaft. Each scraper element is a one piece element having a base portion and a plurality of outwardly biased rearwardly extending fingers terminating as blade portions. Adjacent fingers are of different lengths and the blade portions make substantially point-to-point contact with the tube inner wall surface as the scraper element is forced through the tube.
