| Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers 
Southern Heat Exchanger Corporation utilizes the latest in
modern metal forming and cutting equipment to insure precise adherence to dimensions and
close tolerances.
Drilling equipment is numerically controlled to insure the
accuracy required for baffles and tube sheets unique to heat exchangers. This capability
includes heavy duty drilling capacity that has the ability to accurately drill tube sheets
up to 7" thick and 100" in diameter. Tolerances on these machines can be held
closely. Modern welding equipment including multiple submerged arc equipment, allows
efficient and smooth welding of heat exchangers for all sizes from 3" pipe to
120" plate shells. Welding capabilities, including TIG, MIG, SAW, SMAW, FCAW with a
variety of wire and fluxes, can be utilized to meet the most sophisticated of welding
procedures. This capability is supported by a welding engineering group who stay on top of
the latest developments in this fast emerging field.
Qualified ASME Welders and an extensive
radiographic capability support all types of ASME Section VIII construction, including
lethal service requirements.
Heat treating facilities are also readily
available. Tube-Tube sheet welding utilizes modern computer controlled machines that make
the tube to tube sheet joint in a uniform manner, with and without filler metal as the
procedure requires.
Tubes are expanded into tube sheets at a
uniform rate using the most current technology to assure even expansion and leak-tight
joints.
Before Southern Heat Exchanger Corporation's
nameplate is placed on any exchanger, the exchanger has been carefully inspected
throughout the production process by our highly trained quailty control department. Each
heat exchanger is fully supported by ASME data reports and material mill test certificates
that attest we are producing a thoroughly engineered high-quality product. In addition,
authorized ASME inspectors witness all tests and documentation prior to shipment.
Consider Southern Heat Exchanger Corporation
carefully before your next heat exchanger purchase. |
