PLUSS-A weldless leaktight sleeve for alloy 600/690 steam generator tubes

Description

The ABB PLUSS sleeving represents a new SG tube repair technique qualified and approved to replace in the future most of the plugging as well as welded sleeving. Basically the advantages of an innovative combination of both alloys 600/690 and 800 are taken into consideration. The upper sleeve/SG tube-joint is hydraulically expanded stressing the SG tube only within the elastic range. The lower joint is hard rolled. The installation processes are simple and reproducible, fast, computerized and individually recorded. The operating temperature range of the sleeved SG-tube is effectively reduced so that any further corrosion is impeded. Both, sleeve and SG tube are fully inspectable by ECT. (author)
