Tube Inspections
An estimated 31% of asset failures in the oil and gas industry is caused by tube failures. These failures can critically damage refinery equipment, leak environmental contaminants, and cause an unplanned shutdown.
Tubes are present in heaters, condensers, boilers, coolers, exchangers and steam generators, and they play a vital role in heat exchange. They are also subjected to some of the most extreme conditions imaginable, which often cause corrosion, cracking, and metal loss. Tube inspections save time and money by ensuring your tubes remain in optimal working order between regular maintenance cycles. These inspections can also identify underlying issues—like poor water chemistry or overheating—before they lead to failures in other components.
Tube inspections with HMT can:
- Prevent critical failures in refinery equipment
- Increase run time between planned shutdown cycles
- Save money on maintenance planning and management
- Ensure your assets remain in compliance with state and federal requirements
We provide a variety of tube inspection methods, each designed to quickly locate flaws and ensure optimal performance in a wide range of heat exchangers.
