Best Practices for Eddy Current Testing of Heat Exchanger Tubes
Eddy current testing (ECT) is one of the best methods of measuring wall thickness and circumferential cracks when testing heat exchanger tubes. But it takes quality instrumentation to capture defects accurately. Heat exchanger tubes are subject to heavy stress due to high-fluid pressure, including expansions and contractions of the tubes themselves. ECT is one of the most ideal inspection ...

KNOWING THE PLANT’S STEAM QUALITY
Steam quality is the proportion of saturated steam (vapor) in a saturated condensate (liquid)/steam (vapor) mixture. A steam quality of 0 indicates 100% liquid (condensate), while a steam quality of 100 indicates 100% steam. One pound of steam with 95% steam and 5% of liquid entrainment has a steam quality of 0.95.The measurements needed to obtain a steam quality measurement are temperature, ...

Steam Boiler Chemicals
Steam boilers are vessels to which heat is applied so that water is continuously converted in to steam. ‘Feed water’ is the water added to a boiler to replace that lost due to evaporation and blow down. Often steam is condensed and returned to the boiler as part of the feed water. The primary objectives in boiler design, operation and effective treatment include: efficiency in heat ...
