Heat Exchanger Fabrication

Shell & tube, shell & fin, gas cooler, and process heat exchanger equipment engineered and shop-built to ASME Section VIII Div. 1 and TEMA class, backed by an ISO 9001:2015 quality system from thermal design through hydrostatic test.

Overview

One shop, the full range of heat transfer equipment

Fintelius fabricates the complete range of process heat exchange equipment — shell and tube exchangers, shell and fin units, gas coolers, air cooled condensers, tube bundles, steam air heaters, and inter/after coolers — alongside our flagship air cooled heat exchanger & fin fan cooler line. Every unit moves through the same disciplined path: thermal and mechanical design, code-qualified welding, and rigorous in-house inspection and testing before dispatch.

Design and fabrication capability spans carbon steel, stainless steel, duplex, nickel alloys, and other exotic materials, so a single accountable shop can cover a project's full heat exchanger scope — from a single replacement bundle to a complete multi-unit process package.

  • Shell & tube, shell & fin, bayonet, and double pipe configurations
  • Floating head, fixed tubesheet & U-tube designs; single & multi-pass, multi-phase duty
  • Fabricated to ASME Section VIII Div. 1 and TEMA Class R/C/B standards
  • ISO 9001:2015 quality system with in-house design, inspection & testing

How It Works

From thermal rating to a tested, dispatch-ready exchanger

Every heat exchanger — whatever its configuration — follows the same controlled path through the shop.

1

Thermal & Mechanical Design

Process duty is rated and the exchanger is sized — tube count, pitch, baffle spacing, and shell diameter — then mechanically designed to code.

2

Tubesheet & Shell Fabrication

Tubesheets are drilled and machined, shells rolled and formed, to the tolerances the thermal design demands.

3

Tube Bundle Assembly

Tubes are inserted, expanded or welded into the tubesheet, and baffled and supported through the bundle length.

4

Welding & NDE

Code-qualified welders complete shell, head, and nozzle welds; radiography, ultrasonic, and dye penetrant testing verify every joint.

5

Hydrostatic Testing & Dispatch

Assembled exchangers are hydrostatically tested, stamped, coated, and prepared for shipment.

Configurations & Materials

Engineered to the process duty, not off a shelf

FH

Floating Head

Accommodates differential thermal expansion between shell and tube bundle, and allows the full bundle to be pulled for cleaning — suited to fouling or high temperature-differential service.

FT

Fixed Tubesheet

Tubesheets welded directly to the shell for a simpler, lower-cost design where shell-side access for cleaning is not required and thermal differentials are moderate.

UT

U-Tube Bundle

A single tubesheet with U-shaped tubes allows free thermal expansion of each tube and simplifies bundle removal for maintenance.

Core Equipment

Shop capability behind every exchanger

Machining, forming, welding, and testing equipment sized for process heat exchanger fabrication.

01

Tubesheet Drilling & Machining Centers

Precision drilling and machining of tubesheets to the tube layout and ligament tolerances the design requires.

02

Shell & Head Rolling

Plate rolling and forming for shells, heads, and channel sections across a range of diameters and thicknesses.

03

Tube Expansion & Welding Stations

Tube-to-tubesheet joints made by roller expansion, welding, or a combination, per the design specification.

04

Baffle & Support Fabrication

Baffle plates and tube supports cut and fitted to control shell-side flow and prevent tube vibration.

05

Certified Welding Fleet

Code-qualified welders and procedures across carbon steel, stainless, and alloy materials.

06

Radiography & NDE

In-house and partnered nondestructive examination — RT, UT, MT, and PT — verifying every pressure-boundary weld.

07

Hydrostatic Test Rigs

Pressure-test stations sized for shell and tube exchangers up to large diameters and design pressures.

08

Heat Treatment Equipment

Post-weld heat treatment for code-governed material and joint combinations.

09

Coating & Finishing Bays

Surface preparation and protective coating applied to specification before dispatch.
