Tube Inspection Techniques
In the power, petrochemical and oil/gas industry a big variety of heat exchangers are being used. Heat exchangers are being used to heat up, cool down, evaporate or condensate process flows. Depending on the application, heat exchangers come in all kinds of shapes, dimensions and materials. Construction models most widely used are the so-called tube/shell exchangers and fin/fan coolers.
Proper working heat exchangers are of major importance for cost effective operation of a plant. Failing or leaking heat exchangers can lead to lower efficiency, unplanned shutdowns or even accidents which in turn can result in damage to equipment, environment or people.
Why you should choose our service ?
During operation, heat exchangers are susceptible to several degradation mechanisms that might eventually result in leakages. Depending on construction, material and operation condition mechanisms like corrosion, erosion, cracking or impingement can deteriorate construction materials. Frequent inspection of heat exchangers is required to detect and respond in time to active degradation mechanisms. Likewise, the choice of the available Non-Destructive Test technique is of high importance.
