‘The CTI Shield/Seal™ is a thin-walled metallic tube insert made of highly durable alloys, from copper-based
alloys to stainless steels to nickel-based alloys. They also include alloys for high-temperature service.
STOP THROWING YOUR MONEY DOWN THE TUBES!
The Shield/Seal™, besides repaiing tube-end
erosionicorrosion, will restore tube-to-tubesheot
hole integrity, permit proper mechanical tube
cleaning and in many cases restore leaking, plugged
tubes to full operation. “Shields” meet the strict
regulations ofthe nuclear power industry and the
United States Navy
‘Once expanded ~ either mechanically, hydraulically
or a hybrid of the two — the Shields then become
integral with the parent tubes. Because material and
installation are only a fraction of the cost, this
restoration technique saves precious repair dollars
versus retubing or bundle replacement. The thin-wall
construction, expansion and I.D. chamfer eliminate
the possibility of end-step erosion which has been
historically associated with other tube inserts.
Why replace the entire ube when only the first few inches need repair?

‘Our track record speaks for itself. Since 1976, CTI has installed over 6 milion Shields throughout the world.
From condensers to air coolers to HP feedwater heaters, CT! has the answers that will SAVE YOU MONEY.CTI FULL LENGTH TUBE LINERS ™
For those units that suffer from
full-length erosion/corrosion, pitting
and/or an overage of plugged tubes.
The CTI Full Length Tube Liner™ may
be a cost-effective solution to keep
your exchanger running at maximum
¢ capacity. “Liners” (thin-walled tubes)
are hydraulically expanded into existing
tubes, resulting in a full restoration.

In 1976, CTI developed a tube repair
technique that today is recognized as the
most widely used cost-effective system
in the world. The thin-walled tube insert —
the CTI SHIELD/SEAL™ — propelled our
success in offering cost-effective solu-
tions for equipment life extension.
The information herein describes our
turnkey “restoration systems”, which also
include Full Length Tube Liners™, inspec-
tions, retubing, coatings and cleaning.
CTI-NEW SOLUTIONS TO OLD PROBLEMS.Don’t take our word for it......
“The first condenser which was sleeved was intended to be a short term five (5) year fix. These same
tubes are still in service after 22 years with no problems”
Bill Stroman
San Diego Gas & Electric
*...Il took four weeks to install all the inserts (Shield/Seals”) compared with an estimated 240 weeks to
partially retube 120 units. The cost comparison for partial retubing of the exchangers versus the actual
cost for using inserts was dramatic.”
Dave Kaiser

(ARAMCO)
“After several years of technical research and numerous market surveys we have established that there
are only two means by which to repair condenser tubes reliably. The first method is to replace the tubes.
The alternate method of Shield/Seal"tepair has proven to be the most effective and technologically
sound means of not only repairing, but also significantly extending the service life of condensers.”
