Tube Inspection
Introduction
Refinery and Chemical plants can employ hundreds of heat exchangers or condensers in a single process unit, each having its unique process, service and damage mechanism. Heat exchanger tubing is subjected to process chemistry on both sides (I.D. & O.D.) such as; water, steam, or even air.
This fluid and heat transfer conditions, contributes to either process corrosion and/or mechanical damage within the heater exchanger such as; corrosion, thinning, pitting, cracking, erosion, vibration or a combination of those mentioned

Techniques
Non-destructive testing of tubing and surfaces relies on several techniques, which often depend on the application and the materials involved. By utilizing a single or combination of the following testing technologies, Arise Global has all the capabilities to inspect your tubular equipment according to your needs:
- Eddy Current Testing (ECT)
- Eddy Current Array (ECA)
- Tangential Eddy Current Array (TECATM)
- Remote-Field Testing (RFT)
- Near-Field Testing (NFT)
- Near-Field Array (NFA)
- Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL)
- Internal Rotating Inspection System (IRIS) (Ultrasonic Testing)

Why Tube Inspection
- Component Reliability: Safety & Environment.
- Reliability: Reduce the Chance of Unscheduled Downtime & lost revenue.
- Predictive Maintenance: Determine Corrosion Rate/Remaining Life & Calculate Trending.
- Failure Analysis: Provides data for prevention of future failures.
- Reliable Data: Hydro-Test is not sufficient. Bore-scope inspection can be misleading, limited to visual examination.
