RE: [MW:25255] Problem in welding tube to tube sheet welding

Dear Chandan Sharma,

The leaks in your tube bundle appears to be from the cracks in the Tube/Tube sheet welds. Please look at your fabrication details for the tube bundle. The cracking could be caused by the expansion of the tubes while in service.  

A thorough investigation into the Manufacturing process will be needed before attempting a repair procedure.

Regards

George V Aliyattukudy
