Analysing SBT Leakage

Leakage Root Cause Research

Challenge: The operator of a new project was experiencing leakage from newly installed special alloy tubing and fittings when pressure testing prior to commissioning the plant


Approach: AFS Technologies proposed a full test program using different installation techniques and analysis of the components in each assembly. This program consisted of over 150 individual tests included testing materials to destruction and  rear ferrule grip


Result: AFS Technologies provided a bespoke installation process, later adopted by the fitting manufacturer for this specific material. This allowed the operator to ensure it's contractor installed leak-free connections
