| This bacterial corrosion was caused by an ineffective cooling water treatment program.A videoscope was used to determine the extent of the corrosion throughout the facility. Non-contact measurement software was used to quantify the pitting. |
| Exchanger Tube Bacterial Corrosion |
| Video scopes are excellent tools for determining the internal conditions of exchanger tubes. Techniques such as eddy current only supply numbers for supposed wall loss. Remote video can differentiate conditions such as fouling, scale, corrosion, and pitting before using software to accurately measure features. |
| Exchanger Tube Fouling and Pitting |
| Many of our clients have used videoscopes to locate and determine the cause of failures in tubes. This inspection was performed from the shell side of the exchanger. |
| Tube Walls Thinned and Blown Out |
| Many of our clients have used videoscopes to locate and determine the cause of failures in tubes. This inspection was performed from the shell side of the exchanger. |
| Exchanger Tube Broke off at Baffle |
| Many of our clients have used videoscopes to locate and determine the cause of failures in tubes. This inspection was performed from the tube side of the exchanger. |
| Tube Walls Thinned and Failed |
| Many of our clients have used videoscopes to locate and determine the cause of failures in tubes. This inspection was performed from the tube side of the exchanger. |
| Tube Walls Thinned and Pitted |
| Many of our clients have used videoscopes to locate and determine the cause of failures in tubes. This inspection was performed from the tube side of the exchanger. |
| Blown Exchanger Tube |
| Aluminum had deposited and built up in this tube over time. The presence and thickness of this build-up was verified using a remote camera system and non-contact measurement software. |
| Aluminum Build-up in Tube |
| Shell-side inspections with remote video tools such as videoscopes are used to verify the condition of the tubes and shell and the extent of shell-side fouling in an exchanger. |
| Cooling Water Side Conditions |
| Shellside corrosion and fouling can be identified and evaluated using remote video camera systems such as small-diameter, articulating videoscopes. |
| This video shows corrosion at the start of a tube near the tube sheet. |
| Corrosion on Tube OD |
| Corrosion Near Tubesheet |
| This video shows corrosion at the rolled area of the tube. |
| Corrosion at Rolled Area of Tube |
| This video shows tube corrosion and wall loss. |
| Corrosion and Wall Loss |
| A videoscope was used to inspect this tube for fouling. Debris was also noted in this tube. |
| Condenser Tube Fouled and Foreign Object |
| This foreign object was noted during a tube-side inspection of an exchanger. |
| Fin Fan Tube Scale and Foreign Object |
| This image shows fouling on the inside diameter of an exchanger tube pass. |
| Exchanger Tube Fouled Pass |
| Corrosion is clearly visible in this video of the inside diameter of a heat exchanger tube. |
| Internal Corrosion of Heat Exchanger Tube |
| This image shows cluster pitting on the inside diameter of tubes in a sales exchanger. Using non-contact measurement software, Maverick is able to provide size measurements of features such as pitting. |
| Cluster Pitting Due to Sour Glycol in Sales Exchanger |
| This video shows random tubes of the Exchanger with excessive scale fouling. |
