Tube to Tubesheet Joining Partial Tube Replacement

Because Partial Tube Replacement is a very unique application, we ask that you contact us to discuss you particular needs. We have done partial tube replacement in units with tubes up to 6 inches in diameter. Partial tube replacement may be a good temporary solution for you to keep an older unit online while a longer term solution is being developed. Please contact HydroPro's Engineering Department with any questions you may have.

Description

The HydroPro Tube Plug is a single piece plug designed for exchangers and condensers. The plugging system utilizes hydraulic expansion technology and procedures to set the plug. This allows even oval shaped tubes ends to be sealed and prevents damage to adjacent ligaments and welds.

Advantages Of Using HydroPro Plugs:

^ top

200% - 250% more plug surface area in contact with the tube I.D. than other plugs on the market.
Can conform to oval tubes to create leak tight seal where others can’t.
Can expanded to handle a larger variation in tube size I.D.s (Example: ¾" tube I.D plug can expand to fill a .040 in gap).
Precision machined for most applications.
Multiple material choices are available to assure material compatibility for your specific application. The following are examples of materials currently available: 304 & 316 SS, 90/10 CuNi, Carbon Steel, & Admiralty Brass.
Excellent pull out test results.
Can be welded into place.

The Tube Plug Tooling uses pressurized water to expand the Tube Plug and set it into place. This pressurized water is supplied by the HydroPro Tube Plug power supply system and is injected into the Tube Plug through HydroPro Tube Plug Mandrel Assembly.

Power Supply System

^ top

The Tube Plug Power Supply provides distilled or de-ionized water under pressure to hydraulically expand and set the Tube Plugs in place. The power supply is available in two models. Model TPS-S is our standard model. Model TPS-P is our portable system designed and constructed for ease of shipping. Both systems are powered and operated by compressed air and because no electricity is required they can be utilized in “Hazardous Atmosphere” areas.
