In addition we have secured access to superior titanium strip, with a capacity to meet the needs of the market. Proven reliability Zero corrosion

6 p. / Heat Exchanger Tubes Heat Exchanger Tubes / p. Manufacturing process Expert manufacturing process Tube mill strip is uncoiled and fed through a multiple stand forming mill which shapes the strip into a tube. The tube is welded without filler metal in an inert atmosphere using a non-consumable tungsten electrode (T.I.G. welding) or laser technology. Dimensional properties are achieved when the as-welded tube passes through a final, multi-stage sizing mill. Mechanical and thermal stresses are relieved by in-line induction heating under inert atmosphere. Afterwards, the tube is straightened, 0% Eddy Current (EC) tested, line marked, then automatically cut. Finished tube ends are deburred. The product is subsequently dimensionally inspected, tested through NDT controls (pneumatic testing, EC inspection and Ultrasonic Testing) and packaged to customer specification. Excellence in every plant Our manufacturing process is designed to guarantee the highest level of quality and safety for tubes, in accordance with customer specifications, and beyond. We believe in constantly improving our factories and production methods. Our equipment is stateof-the-art and we implement stringent maintenance procedures to ensure the highest quality of every tube coming off of our lines. Every Vallourec Heat Exchanger Tubes factory shares the same values and practices, ensuring the same excellence everywhere, both in the production process and plant management. Over state-of-the-art welding lines in the world

Process control Mastering the process control With over years of experience and continuous progress Vallourec Heat Exchanger Tubes masters the entire welding process and provides the highest level of quality and safety in the market. Non Destructive Testing (NDT) NDT is at the heart of our quality process and is the result of an unmatched experience of welded tubing solutions. Vallourec Heat Exchanger Tubes has always been a pioneer in NDT and provides high-end controls including ultrasonic, Eddy Current, pneumatic and hydraulic testings. Leaders in ultrasonic testing was the first company in the world to develop ultrasonic testing on welded tubes, as early as in 1977, exceeding the ASTM B 338 standard that only required Eddy Current inspection. Thanks to our research team, we have improved the ultrasonic testing on welded tubes and can offer it as standard for all demanding customer.

Corrugated Heat exchange enhancement Finned Seeking optimal performance for a better cost of ownership Vallourec shared resources 500 researchers worldwide 60 million dedicated to R&D yearly Vallourec Heat Exchanger Tubes dedicated resources 1full production line dedicated to R&D R&D and technical support managers Innovation The power of Vallourec research endeavors to develop research and create innovative solutions for its customers with the combined power of the Vallourec group and its own research facilities. Our R&D teams deploy extensive research programs in two directions: To enhance the performance and longevity of our tubes in the toughest environments. To optimize the production process, including non destructive testing methods and premium packaging solutions. We seek to design and produce uniquely tailored products for the most demanding applications in the world. Our most qualified engineers and experts are here for you : feel free to share your technical challenge with us! Increase your performance Lower your costs Save energy constantly develops its technology to procure thinner wall and enhanced surface tube. Finning and corrugation improve heat transfer and lower cost and size of the heat exchanger. We provide for example Valfin, ferritic finned tubes specially designed for MSR. The ferritic material, TP439 is best suited for the high temperature of the MSR. The finning can increase surface exchange area by at least 3 times. We also provide Fine-Fin, a finned tubular solution which yields numerous benefits for shell and tube heat exchangers including reduced size and cost for new equipment, increased performance of existing equipment, and availability in corrosion resistant materials such as titanium and duplex stainless steel. 5 technical partnerships with customers
