A Faster Way To Pull Tubes
Erica Dzomba2019-11-25T14:11:33-05:00When removing tubes from a vessel, one of the most difficult tasks can be removing tube stubs from the tube sheet. Depending upon how long the tube has been in the vessel, in addition to how efficient the initial expansion was, the removal process can be very difficult.
How to insert heat exchanger tubes quickly and easily
Erica Dzomba2021-05-20T10:27:25-05:00When installing heat exchanger tubes, it can be difficult to guide them through the support sheets or baffle holes. The best way to overcome this challenge is to use Elliott Tube Pilots.
How to size turbine cleaners and heads for optimal cleaning
Erica Dzomba2024-03-22T13:03:04-05:00In order to properly maintain your vessel, the right cleaning tools must be selected to clean the tubes. When trying to select a turbine cleaner and head, the abundance of options can seem overwhelming. However, when sizing turbine cleaners there are a few pieces of information that can help you select the ideal cleaner and head.
Find Leaking Tubes Quickly & Easily
Erica Dzomba2022-09-26T10:23:38-05:00While tube leaks can occur for numerous reasons, one of the most common causes is the formation of holes. Holes can form within a tube as a result of deposit build-up, corrosion, improper cleaning heads being used, and more.
MB Engineering Services Found Effective And Simple Way To Plug Heat Exchanger Tubes
Erica Dzomba2022-06-13T13:06:42-05:00MB Engineering Services is an engineering services company that repairs heat exchangers for the offshore oil and gas industry. When exchangers are shut down, it is MB’s job to carry out the necessary repair work to get the heat exchanger back online as soon as possible.
Is the free speed RPM of a torque control the best indicator of how fast a tube can be rolled?
Erica Dzomba2019-11-25T14:11:44-05:00For tube expanding it is desirable to roll the tube quickly as it prevents work hardening of the tube and less frictional heat is generated. The limiting factors in this balance of speed vs. power are voltage or pneumatic pressure. These either limit the speed or power being produced.
How To Prevent Tubes From Rotating When Rolling
Erica Dzomba2019-11-25T14:11:44-05:00Tube rolling occurs when the tube rotates due to inadequate friction between the tube OD and the hole in the tube sheet. This can cause increased expansion times and decrease the efficiency of the operator. Increasing the friction between the tube and tube sheet and or collar the tube will not rotate within the tube sheet. Increasing the friction can be done using several different methods:
