    re: Tube Plugging Margin

    Thanks to the individual who suggested you contact Carl Andreone or me (Stanley Yokell). As one writer suggested, tube plugging is not always a simple matter. If they ever get around to it, Chemical Engineering will publish a recently written article on Tube Plugging and Sleeving. Look for...

    Tube rolling after PWHT or before PWHT

    Although it is common to "lightly roll tubes into tube holes before welding, it has the disadvantage of sealing the space so welding-generated gases can only escape through the weld puddle. This can be a source of porosity and subsurface inclusions. It does not matter whether the weld is a...
