This invention relates to a device for conducting flange test on boiler tubes, the device being adaptable on a standard universal testing machine having at least one compression ring (6), and a base (7), the device comprising; at least one flaring tool (1) selected from a set of flaring tools corresponding to the diameter of a boiler tube (5) to be tested, the flaring tool (1) can be inserted in the at least one compression ring (6) of the testing machine; a die block (2) having a central hole for housing the tube (5) under test, the diameter of the central hole being selected corresponding to the diameter of the tube (5), the die block (2) can be mounted under the inserted flaring tool (1); a sleeve (3) selected from a plurality of sleeves in registration with the diameter of the tube (5), and inserted into the die block (2); a washer (4) insertable in the die block (2) till it rests on the base (7) of the testing machine; and the tube (5) being inserted on the sleeve (3) such that it is projected outside the die block (2) by a distance, the flaring tool (1) during testing being lowered in a first step till it reaches the edge of the tube (5), and in a second step turned at right angles.
