- Production loss & higher insurance cost
- Repair Expense
- Unscheduled shutdowns
- Unnecessary tube replacement or plugging
- Legal costs for Safety violations & Accidents
Tri-State NDT Inc. utilizes Video, Visual, Flux Leakage, Eddy Current, Magnetic Particle and Ultrasonic examinations to evaluate boiler integrity. Evaluation Report include color coded tube sheet layout with indication of damage in the tubes, Tables and recommendations
Below are some examples of locations inspected:
Magnetic Particle examination of tube sheet can detect cracks in the weld area
Video examination of boiler tube in water tube boiler shows severe chemical attack
Flux Leakage or Eddy current test (for thin tubes) of tubes in Fire tube boiler shows Outer surface corrosion
