    This document discusses non-destructive testing services for heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) provided by TesTex, including: 1) Inspection of finned tubes from the outside surface and inspection of tube to header welds using the low frequency electromagnetic technique. 2) The low frequency electromagnetic technique can detect pitting, general wall losses, and enable sizing of defects through proper calibration. 3) Inspection of tube to header welds is also discussed using the balanced field electromagnetic technique where electromagnetic coils in a balanced state can detect flaws. 4) The document inquires about the HRSG inspection needs of the reader and offers TesTex services to address them.

    Driver Coil
    Weld Detecting Coil

    Electromagnetic coils are placed in a balanced state. The driver coil is placed
    in the “x” geometry and the detecting coil is placed in the “z” geometry. This
    geometry produces an unbalanced state when a defect is encountered.
