Hi JMW! Regarding the safety I have to admit that I haven´t really thought about this matter in this case so far, having in mind, that for example in cracking furnaces the naphtha is always preheated in the convection section. Well, there is some diference between fuel oil and naphtha, so I...

Hi, I´d like to know if anyone has experience with heating fuel oil in a convection section of a fired heater where the flue gas contains SO2. The problem is the low tubewall temperature. Is there adequate material, or do I have to heat it in an extra heat exchanger by steam? Thanks for your...

As it is part of their code i guess they won´t. But the exchanger will be pressure tested anyway, only after welding. I see the advantages of pressure testing before welding: You can inspect the tubes easier and you won´t have any repair welding in case the bundle doesn´t pass the pressure...

Well, it´s about manufacturing heat exchanger. The code of the company we´re working for demands pressure testing of every single tube before welded in the tube sheet. The tube supplier says eddy current testing was sufficient and wants to double the price of the tubes if pressure testing is...

Hi, I would like to know if eddy current testing can fully substitute pressure testing of tubes. THANKS

bngreene is referring to metal. you should as well consider HDPE or LDPE as tube material which is resistent to 50% caustic.
