 |
| |
| Simple test equipment used by fabrication shops in the repair, re-tubing and assessment of boilers and heat exchangers. This kit is used to find leaking tubes within a pressure vessel to recognize which tubes need to be replaced, pierced and plugged. Easy to operate, by sealing the far end of each tube with a rubber tube plug. Push the rubber nozzle into the tube. Cycle the unit which will create a vacuum inside the tube. If the tube does not hold vacuum, the tube is defective. |

| Operating Instructions: |
 |
|
| Connect the air supply with a minimum of 90 psi. Insert the plugging T Handle with the appropriate seal to one end of the tube to be tested. Insert the vacuum gun at the other end of the same tube. |
| |
 |
|
| Operate the slide valve on the vacuum gun to create a vacuum within the tube. |
| |
 |
|
| Shut the slide valve when the required pressure is reached. Hold in position for a few seconds. If the gauge shows a consistent pressure, no leak is evident. |
| |
 |
|
| If a drop in pressure is witnessed then it is evident a leaking tube has been found within the pressure vessel. |
