Tube/Pipe
Testing Equipment
|
 Simple
operation-Insert air injection gun into tube. Squeeze the
pistol grip; seal expands and locks into the tube. Then a push
of the air control button clears the tube of loose dirt and scale,
and shows the plugging gun operator which tube is being tested.
(No need to count tubes to locate the right one).
Insert plugging
gun into tube, and squeeze the pistol grip to lock seal. Sealing
elements seal within 1/2" (12.7 mm) of the tube bundle end
so leaks or breaks inside the tube sheet can be detected. (Most
leaks occur at this point due to dissimilarity of metals).
5256 Tube
Testing Kit includes: Air injection gun, plugging gun,
compression tubes, and seals for one specific tube size. Accessories
shown below are available to adapt guns to other tube sizes.
