Common failures & inspection points

Solder defects and brazing defects

Visual inspection for voids, porosity and predetermined fracture points in solder joints; pressure test (helium-hydrogen test gas mixture: 95% nitrogen + 5% hydrogen) for detection of microscopically small leaks through hydrogen diffusion

Corrosion and erosion of plates

Visual inspection for corrosion scars, surface rust, intergranular corrosion and pitting on plate surfaces and solder lines; surface roughness measurement for early detection of erosion in aggressive media

Thermal fatigue and cracks

Surface crack inspection by penetrant testing (penetrant method) or eddy current testing; thermal load monitoring through pressure and temperature difference measurement; vibration testing during rapid temperature changes

Sealing seat and media leaks

Pressure test (operating pressure + 50%), leak tests with hydrogen gas detectors; inspection for deterioration of seal through swelling or hardening; inspection of leakage gap in double-wall designs (GPLS, SPL)

Pressure drop and contamination

Measurement of current pressure drop and comparison with nominal value; inspection flushing test with test fluid to detect deposits and contamination; cleaning when limit values are exceeded; inspection of filters for degree of contamination
