Heat exchangers are an integral part of any facility or plant. As such, their maintenance and reliability are a high priority for any business. During their lifespan, heat-exchangers face constant exposure to harsh temperature changes and pressure cycles, high product flows and corrosive agents. The resulting degradation, includes de-alloying, inlet erosion, fatigue cracking and more, often leaving them vulnerable to critical failures that carry a heavy cost of repair. When it comes to protecting against the inconvenience and downtime, regular inspection is a must.

Russell NDE manufactures heat exchanger probes that pair with our equipment, as well as competitor's equipment, allowing for the inspection of ferrous and non-ferrous tubes. Our RFT probes can be single, dual exciter, absolute, differential or array. Our ECT probes can be reflection bobbin style, pitch-catch or array. We also carry specialty probes for cooler tubes and have options for exchangers requiring either a rigid or flexible probe.
