Heat Exchanger Inspection Tool NNL-FMP-0046
Summary
AI-generated · May 20, 2026Small, compact heat exchangers manufactured by additive manufacturing using Alloy 625 Inconel require inspection solutions for tube diameters smaller than those used in traditional manufacturing. The scope seeks information on inspection capabilities at these reduced sizes and will evaluate any method capable of detecting the specified flaws.
Ultrasonic immersible probes have been considered, but any inspection method that can detect the flaws of interest will be evaluated. More information is in the attached problem statement; submit a completed form and any additional information to the contact provided.
The Buyer is currently investigating small, compact heat exchangers (HX) fabricated by additive manufacturing (AM) using Alloy 625 Inconel. Inspection solutions (e.g., probes or other methods) are needed for smaller tube diameters than those typically used in traditional manufacturing. This scope of work seeks to obtain information on inspection capabilities at smaller tube sizes. While ultrasonic (UT) immersible probes have been previously considered, any method capable of detecting the specified flaws of interest will be evaluated. Additional information in attached problem statement. Please submit completed form and any additional inforamtion at below contact.
