Reaction Vessel & Microchannel Standard

Jacketed Vessels & Specialty Exchangers NDT

Authoritative reference for Dimpled Jackets, Half-Pipe Coils, Printed Circuit Exchangers (PCHE), Scraped Surface Exchangers (SSHE), and Teflon immersion coils. Inspect CUI on shell jackets and skirts.

Jacket CUI ScreeningAPI 510
Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC)

Screen reactor jackets and insulated support skirts for CUI wall loss right through weather cladding without insulation stripping.

Specialty Heat Exchanger Architectures & NDT Methods

Dimple Jacket, Half-Pipe Coil & Conventional Outer Jackets

Jacketed Vessels & Reactor Jackets

Outer heat transfer jackets welded directly to chemical reactor walls and storage vessels to heat or cool process fluids. Prone to severe Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) under weather cladding.

Primary NDT:PEC (Pulsed Eddy Current), PAUT fillet weld scanning, Ultrasonic thickness grids.
Diffusion-Bonded Microchannel Exchangers

Printed Circuit Heat Exchangers (PCHE)

Ultra-compact heat exchangers constructed from chemically etched plates solid-state diffusion bonded under high temperature and pressure for supercritical CO2 and LNG service.

Primary NDT:Helium mass spectrometer leak testing, High-frequency PAUT micro-channel flaw sizing.
Viscous & Crystallizing Process Service

Scraped Surface Heat Exchangers (SSHE)

Features internal rotating scraper blades that continuously wipe viscous, sticky, or crystallizing fluids off the inner transfer wall in food, pharmaceutical, and wax processing.

Primary NDT:RVI videoborescopy of internal cylinder bore, PT dye penetrant on scraper blade welds.
Ultra-Pure Semiconductor & Acid Pickling

Fluoropolymer / Teflon Immersion Coils

PFA/PTFE fluoropolymer tubing bundles inserted into pickling tanks and semiconductor chemical baths where all metal alloys would rapidly dissolve.

Primary NDT:Acoustic pulse reflectometry (APR), Hydrostatic pressure retention testing.
Zero-Commission B2B Platform

How B2B Project Workflow Works

From initial RFP scope to direct client sign-off. NDT EXCHANGE does not charge commissions or manage project payments.

01

RFP Scope

Asset Owner Scope

Asset Owner posts turnkey B2B inspection scope with technical specifications, asset list, and required NDT methods.

02

Competitive Bids

Agency Proposals

Certified NDT agencies submit competitive proposals (Fixed-Bid / T&M) detailing technician rosters and day rates.

03

Direct Settlement / Escrow

Payment Security

Client awards bid and sets up direct milestone payment or escrow — NDT EXCHANGE never holds or manages project funds.

04

Field Execution

Testing & Calibration

Level II/III inspectors perform on-site testing (PAUT, TOFD, MFL, UT), capturing flaw data and calibration overlays.

05

Sign-Off & Payout

Audit & Settlement

Level III auditor reviews findings; upon client sign-off, funds release directly to agency with 0% platform commission.
