Description:

The TubeMaster™ System is a new system (patent pending) for high speed blowdown and backpressure testing of reactors tubes, available by lease and license. See Figure 1. It is designed to solve the speed, accuracy, data management, and many other quality problems associated with current systems and procedures. Major components include an Automatic Blowdown System (ABS) and Tube Test Device (TTD), a wand containing ten tube-seal test gas injectors. The system also includes a real time graphical display an umbilical for use on single tubes; a power and data module; a host computer with special software; and either wire or wireless communication between wand and computer.
