Heat Exchanger Leak Detection Services
Shell and Tube, Floating Head, Plate and Fin, Bayonet, Air Coolers are just a few of the types of heat transfer equipment.
What happens when an exchanger leaks?
- Environmental hazard
- Inadequate pressure or temperature rating
- Inadequate heat transfer
- Failing equipment
- Undesired pressure changes
- Fouling of tubes
- Accelerated corrosion
- Excessive load
- Forced outages
- Loss of heat transfer
- Microbiological growth
Pin Hole in Tube Weld
Eventually, a leaking heat exchanger will cause an increase in operations costs. We are able to detect large and very small leaks in heat exchangers before the leak(s) become a liability.
Our leak test procedures exceed the requirements of ASME, ASNT and other applicable codes.
It doesn't matter if the tube to tube-sheet joint is welded or expanded - it can be tested to a high degree of accuracy.
