Tube Testers

Air-Activated Tube Tester
Model 5373
Air Activated Tube Tester

Our Model 5373 Air Activated Tube Tester is designed to test entire length of tube (from tube sheet to tube sheet) for leaks. Uses air pressure, up to 125 PSI, a press of the air valve, expands seals on both injection and plugging guns, and pressurizes tube. Requires a minimum of physical effort.

Tube Testing Kit includes: air injection gun, plugging gun, compression tubes, and seals for one specific tube size.


Tube Plugs

Torq'N Seal
High Pressure Tube Plugs

Until now, the sealing capacity of Torq'N Seal plugs has always been limited to the maximum torque output of a 1/4 inch drive extension. Now, by utilizing the TORX Drive System, the Torq'N Seal tube Plug can be installed at a considerably higher torque value thereby achieving a much greater sealing capacity. For example the T45 TORX Drive will produce approximately two times the torque as an equivalent 1/4 inch square drive.
Torq'N Seal

Features

  • Positive sealing in excess of 6500 PSI is achieved without special tooling
  • Plug can be inserted to any depth of the tube sheet in order to avoid severely corroded areas on the tube sheet face
  • Design enables rapid implantation and fit into tight areas adjacent to the tube sheet/ shell joint interface, baffle plates and internal dividers
  • One piece design enhances sealing characteristics by eliminating second potential leak path common to design found in two piece plugs
  • Torq'N Seal Plugs available to meet nuclear QA specification 10CFR501 Appendix B, ANSI 45.2.

Tapered
tapered Tube Plug
Ideal for sealing leaky tubes in condensers or heat exchangers. Just drive a plug into each end of leaky tube.
Note: puncture the tube to ensure that pressure can not build up in the tube and cause the plugs to loosen or blow out.

Two-Piece
Two piece Tapered Plugs
For sealing off leaky condenser and heat exchanger tubes without damaging tube sheets. Tapered pin is driven into ring, which is tapered on the inside and is parallel to tube on the outside. This gives even expansion to the ring and a long contact to the seal. Available in a variety of metals.

How to Use the Elliott Tube Plug:

Place correct size ring in tube. (Order by Tube O.D. and Gage.) Insert pin in ring and tap lightly until ring is seated.
