Tube

Lining Sleeving

Overview

PipeServ specializes in restoring and extending the life of heat exchanger tubes through advanced sleeving and lining techniques. Whether your tubes are experiencing wear at the ends, isolated wall loss, or full-length corrosion, our solutions provide cost-effective alternatives to complete re-tubing or unit replacement.

Tube Sleeving

Our Hydra-Loc® Sleeves from Curtiss Wright EST are engineered to address localised tube-end issues. These sleeves conform to the tube’s actual contours, ensuring effective heat transfer and extending operational life.

Common Failure Mechanisms Addressed by Sleeves:

Tube-end erosion/corrosion
Stress corrosion cracking
Crevice corrosion
Localized pitting
Ammonia grooving

Key Benefits:

Reinforced tube-to-tube sheet joints for improved reliability.
Targeted repair reduces the need for extensive labor and cost.

Tube

Lining

Overview

Full-Length Liners are ideal for addressing corrosion, pitting, or cracking throughout the entire tube. Installed with precision, these liners restore damaged tubes to operational status and prevent leaks.

Prevent emergency shutdowns and tube plugging between turnarounds.
Reduce fouling, enhancing efficiency compared to plain carbon steel tubes.
Designed for inclusion in new heat exchanger builds to extend service life.
Cost-saving benefits by avoiding complete re-tubing.
