Key Tests as per IS 11329:2018

The standard specifies critical evaluations for finned type heat exchangers. Our services include:

• Thermal Performance Testing: Measures heat transfer efficiency under varying load conditions.

• Pressure Testing: Validates structural integrity under high-pressure conditions.

• Material & Corrosion Resistance: Evaluates corrosion resistance of fins, tubes, and joints in saline/humid environments.

• Fin Bonding Strength: Tests adhesion between fins and tubes under mechanical stress.

• Airflow Resistance Testing: Measures pressure drop across the heat exchanger to optimize airflow efficiency.

• Refrigerant Leakage Test: Ensures leak-proof joints and connections using helium mass spectrometry or nitrogen testing.

• Vibration & Durability Testing: Simulates long-term operational stress to assess fatigue resistance.

• Salt Spray Testing: Validates corrosion resistance in coastal or high-humidity environments (e.g., ASTM B117).

• Hydrophilic Coating Efficiency: Tests moisture absorption and drainage to prevent frost buildup.

• Dimensional Accuracy: Verifies tube spacing, fin pitch, and alignment as per design specifications.
