Heat Exchanger Tube Plugs
Heat exchanger tube plugs seal the ends of leaking tubes, providing longer use of the heat exchanger. The uniform taper and the smooth surface finish assure positive sealing with minimum installation force. The one-piece design of the pin plug provides an easy solution to permanent plugging for tubes or tube sheet holes.

Ferrules and Inserts
Tube inserts and Tube ferrules are a metal inserted into the end of a heat exchanger tube to provide protection to the Tube mouth ends of a shell & tube type heat exchanger. Tube inserts are convenient tools that recover tube side performance in heat exchangers.
The need for this Tube Ferrule arises as all tube failures occur within the first few inches of the heat exchanger tube inlet-end. Tube inserts are used in shell & tube type heat exchangers to provide protection to the tubes. The solution to this situation is the use of a thin wall covering in form of metal tube insert expanded full length into the inlet-end of condensers and heat exchangers. Inserts are used for applications in which tube side heat transfer is thermally limiting and an increase in pressure drop is allowed.
FAV tube insert is designed to ensure a smooth and gentle transition of the fluid down the tube insert to the condenser or heat exchanger tube. We have Metal tube insert and Plastic/Delrin Tube Inserts.

Header Plug & Shoulder Plugs for Heat Exchanger
Shoulder plug or header plug are made for plugs type header boxes in air cooled heat exchangers or fin fan air coolers. A shoulder plugs and gasket are located opposite each tube which allows access for inspection and cleaning of individual tubes. Spare plugs and gaskets may be needed to replace originals during routine maintenance or used to plug leaking tubes.
Header Plugs are installed in upstream offshore/onshore oil production and initial processing installations. Header Plugs are made from Stainless Steel 316, SS 304, Duplex, Super Duplex, Carbon Steel, Brass, Inconel, Hastelloy, Titanium and Monel. They are also available in various Alloy Steel
