Accusense Non-Destructive

Heat Exchanger Testing 

 

The Accusense system utilises the inert helium gas as a tracer to seek out any potential leaks in one circuit of a heat exchanger. The opposing circuit has a low volume of circulating air which is continually monitored for any traces of helium which are displayed on the detecting instrument and a paperless recording system. 

 

 

The whole testing process only takes a few minutes to complete on any one section of a heat exchanger. This is a major advantage to the end user as production only has to be disrupted for a short period of time. The system is the most sensitive in-situ testing methods available in the market place today; it is capable of detecting very small holes or cracks potentially down to 5 microns.

 

  • Non-Destructive
  • Safe in Operation
  • No Residual Contamination
  • Minimum Disruption to production
  • On-site testing with prompt conclusions
  • Exact plate location
     

 

This unique non-destructive method allows the discovery of faults before they become problematic and therefore enables planned preventative maintenance, unlike other test methods. The use of Helium has additional benefits in that it is safely dispersed, leaves no residue, is non toxic and does not stress the plate pack with high pressures.

Crack and Pinhole Detection

 

  

Alliance Fluid Handling now offer our customers an internal crack & pinhole inspection service of stainless steel tanks, Cheese vats and spray dryers.

 

Our test involves spraying the internal surface with a 

biodegradable water washable fluorescent dye penetrant, which we and the British Institute of Non-Destructive testing believe is still the most appropriate technique for finding cracks and small pores in large Stainless steel vessels.

 

 

  

 

We do however offer Eddy Current and Visual inspection along side this if customers require these techniques.(Although not recommended as the most appropriate method).

 

All of our Technicians are Qualified to one of the two international standards for NDT personnel PCN or SNTC1 for all of our inspection techniques.
