Franco:
Founder

since 1961
tthe end of the nineteen fies Mr. Franco Agostino was
afforded the opportunity to lear the art of making tube
‘expanders by an old German manufacture, Mr. Albert Oto.
From that time, and thanks to the determination and
perseverance of these men, Mi. Agostino was able to start
up the small Italian factory that a few years later became
Maus Italia,
Today Maus italia has risen fo a position of world leadership
thanks to the tireless work of many collaborators and the
belief of an Maan clientele which fs exceptionally active in
the interational marketplace,
‘Active on the international market in the subsequent years,
«an irresistible desire of innovation push our company in
inserting new products, mare and more innovatory in the
field of manufacture and maintenance ofthe heat exchangers.
This ast ones the subject ofthis brochure, up-to-dated at
2010, that Maus tala 's presenting withthe attempt of giving
‘a contribution of cleamess and competence, which are
values that have always marked us all over the worid.©maéus Index

Inthe next pages we have tried to show by sketches main maintenance operations
performed on heat echangers tube bundles.
‘The purpose is to summarize for our qualified customers a complete range of
machines and tools for the maintenance of tube bundles of heat exchangers
both on-site and in the workshop. The machines designed and manufactured
by us are the result of decades of experience with hundreds of clients on five
continents.
‘The three main plant maintenance operations are depicted here briefly
‘The testing, extraction, transporting and water cleaning of the tube bundles
in off-shore and on-shore petrochemical installations.
‘After washing, it could be necessary the partial or total retubing of the tube
bundle.
The operations, detailed here following, briefly explain the use of our tools,
equipments and machines, matched to the different phases of the retubing

In order to solve the problem of pnoumaticaly testing the
leakage inthe tube and inthe junctions between tube and
tube sheet in heat exchangers when assembled, operative or
in uso, Maus faa proposes the guns ofthe @ series and
P series which ae fast, efficient, easy to use and to handle.
‘After having verified the possibilty of intervention on site, it
is possible to plug some defective tubes with standard plugs
‘model F/785, made by a ring and a tapered pin, or by high-
tech plugs model Pop a plug.Pneumatic pressure tube testing
Provides a fast and effective method for pneumatically testing
hheat exchanger tubes and tube to tubestest joints for leaks.

{tis used to test single stralght, U-shaped 1. 2
tubes, or tubes with only one end open the
kits composed of a ar gun anda tube
plugging gun (in case of tubes open at both
ends). They have been conceived to
preumatealy test the leakage ofthe smalest

are made in aluminum: they make possible
to test tubes with ID trom:
G-150 :7,1 mm to 31,3 mm (0,280" to 1,230")
G-1504 :31,4mm to 64,3 mm 0,231" to 2,531").
After making the gaskets ofboth guns expand
simultaneously and aftr the preseure has
stabilzeg inside the tube, every smal leakage

Conosived to test an entire tube when it can
be accessed only from one end. tis supplied
with a connection and fixed test length;
itis available in lengths from 610 mm
0 1830 mm (rom 210 6 feet). The test
length can be assembled up to a lenath
of 7820 mm (24 Fi) It weight 1K (2.2 Lb)
approx. as itis made in aluminium: tis very easy to handle.
‘Tubes with ID from 12,2 mm to 31,2 mm (rom 0,480 9 1,230") canbe tested.
‘Aer insertng the entire test length and expanding the two gaskets at the ends
and after the pressure has stabilized inside the tube, the slightest leakage will

For this purpose Maus Italia has developed a complete series:
Cf tube bundle pullers which fal into two categories, AERIAL
