About this title

Synopsis

Today's cost-conscious process and manufacturing industries require the life of tubular heat exchangers to be extended. That's why engineers and technicians will welcome this guide, packed with inspection checklists and tips for cost containment that reduce the need for new equipment.

Advice on evaluating heat exchangers and on inspection strategies for both operating and out-of-service equipment will help prevent the need for costly reapairs. Additional benefits include tips on tube plugging, retubing, shell-side repairs and alterations, maintenance, repair, and alteration of closures, channels, bonnets, and tubesheets.
