LEAK SEALING EQUIPMENT
  All restriction adapters and all injection equipment used during the leak sealing process are manufactured by WALDUBA in South Africa, in IOS 9002 accredited facilities and tested to ensure compliance. Every item is hard stamped, certified and traceable
COMPOUNDS
  Standard WALDUBA compounds used in leak sealing are semi rubber materials, currently available in several grades in different forms.They all have the same basic characteristics, in that they soften when heated and cure to form a tough permanent seal under subsequent heating, and are free of asbestos
  WALDUBA's leak sealing compound are manufactured by WALDUBA, and tested to ensure consistency and correct formulation. WALDUBA has developed a range of sealing materials to cope with a large variety of leaks of different chemicals, temperatures and pressures

leak sealing
 
Diagram of Compound travel by injection
WALDUBA has successfully sealed leaks on condensate, boiler feed water, steam, super heated steam, process water and alkalis at pressures from vacuum to 220 bar and temperature from 30 'C to 420 'C at various Power Stations in Southern Africa and neighbouring countries as well as Chemical Plants
Clamps and Boxes
 
For sealing leaking flanges at all pressures where the gap between the flanges is greater than approximately 8mm, a WALDUBA Insert Clamp is used. For sealing leaking pipeline defects etc. a box enclosure is used
WALDUBA clamps and boxes are designed using CAD program and manufactured in South Africa.
Clamps and boxes are checked against specifications and defects at every stage of the manufacturing procedure and a record is kept.
 
Quality Assurance
Before any leak other than steam, water or compressed air is attempted, our technicians determine the type of leak, it's location, it's size and it's temperature and pressure. They then contact the office who analyses the information and prescribes the proper sealant for the job. Appropriate safety measures and special techniques are received and then the leak is sealed.
Tube Testing
 
WALDUBA can perform air tests on each individual tube. Test all the tubes or isolate a specific area. This method can locate leaking tubes fast.
This is a quick low pressure testing of heat exchanger and boiler tubes (3-5 tubes per minute) (depending on the diameter and length of the tube) at a test pressure of 40 -125 psi .
SAFETY VALVE TESTING
WALDUBA offers safety valve testing facilities in a workshop environment. The work performed on valves that are removed from site are guaranteed and certified
