Leaks & Leak Testing
Finding leaking tubes and joints; plug or retube
How to Find Leaking Tubes in a Condenser
A condenser leak shows up as poor condensate chemistry. Find exactly which tubes leak before deciding to plug or retube. A vacuum tube leak detector runs on compressed air and needs no special training.Finding Small Leaks at Tube-to-Tubesheet Joints
When the tubes are sound but a few of thousands of joints leak, finding them is slow. A vacuum joint leak detector checks each joint quickly.Leaking Heat Exchanger Tubes: Plug or Retube?
A few leaks are usually plugged. When the number of plugged tubes approaches the design margin, performance drops, or the tubes are generally thinned, it is time to retube or replace the bundle.
