Dear Chris hello/Good evening,

• It indeed seems interesting with a focused approach on heat exchange in process industry environment congratulations.

• However I wonder would it be making rationale to select and keep all previous posts related to this specific topic and bring under this forum topic.
• May be the technology of computerized for sorting out the 'subject matter' or 'discussion theme' makes this convenient to attempt!

Good Luck

Dear Gents,

I am seeking advise as to how to clean A268 Tp410 ferritic stainless steel tubes. The fact is that the tubes we have supplied for the manufacture of three shell and tube exchangers are rusty within the tubes (and nice and shiny outside). I have no idea what caused the rust, but obviously would not want this rust to do harm downstream of  the h/x-s when they get installed. So I would like to propose a method of cleaning in the shop before the exchangers are despatched, but I have no knowledge as to what cleaning material can be used, in what concentraction, for how long etc. Of course I do not want to damage the exchangers, either. Can someone help me with a tip? 

Thanks very much in advance

Peter
