What Constitutes the Inspection Scope for Heat Exchangers?
During various stages of the manufacturing process, inspectors assess the work and document the results of inspections for heat exchangers. The inspection scope for heat exchangers includes:

1. Identification and inspection of raw materials

2. Approval of the welding process completed on the test plate

3. Examination of welders' qualifications

4. Welding groove preparation, involving visual inspection of layering and penetration flaw detection

5. Verification of the quality of welding preparation and welding seam pairing

6. Examination of welded joints on the back of the groove, such as the welds of the placement type takeover, due to inconvenience in these areas

7. Radiographic inspection

8. Penetrant flaw detection for cover layers; testing of the chemical composition of cover layers; measurement of ferrite content

9. Alignment of longitudinal welds and girth welds

10. Size deviation assessment of a single barrel section

11. Pair inspection of a barrel section and parts

12. Gap measurement of the root bead before welding

13. Assessment of the appearance contours of welding seams and identification of welding defects

14. Inspection of prefabricated parts and purchased components

15. Verification of radiographic inspection or other welding inspection techniques

16. Determination of the thinning amount of the head after molding

17. Checking the alignment of the tube plate and the shell after drilling

18. Verification of the pairing of the tube sheet and the shell before welding operation

19. On-site witnessing after post-weld heat treatment

20. Dimensional inspection following a hydraulic test

21. Issuance of container stamps and certificates of conformity

22. Packaging and shipping
