Do finished finned tubes need to undergo a hydrostatic test?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, it refers to finned tubes manufactured through bimetallic rolling. The finned tube manufacturers conduct hydrostatic tests on the base tubes before rolling; is it still necessary to carry out hydrostatic tests on the finished finned tubes after rolling, given that the medium inside the tubes is a dangerous and explosive gas?
Pressure pipelines and pressure vessels need to undergo hydraulic testing; it will depend on whether your finned tubes fall under the category of pressure pipelines or pressure vessels.
