G250 Vacuum Tube Testing Guns
Quickly seal off and evacuate individual heat exchanger tubes to test the tube for leakage
- Provides a Fast and Effective Method for Pneumatically Testing Heat Exchanger Tubes and Tube-to-Tubesheet Joints for Leaks
Description
Vacuum Tube Testing Guns G250 are designed to quickly seal off and evacuate individual heat exchanger tubes to test the tube for leakage. Operation is easy. Connect standard plant air supply to the active vacuum gun and insert the conical seal into the end of the tube to be tested. Insert the passive plugging tool into the opposite end of the tube. Depress the air control valve, air flows through the vacuum generator and evacuates the tube. Release the air control valve and any loss of vacuum indicated on the vacuum gauge identifies a leaking tube. An optional digital vacuum gauge increases the operators ability to detect even the smallest pinhole leaks.
