    This document lists common tube defects such as pitting, cracking, erosion, vibration damage, and cracks at the tubesheet. It describes the causes of each defect including flow conditions, corrosion, stresses, and deposits. Key defects are pitting and cracking of the inner and outer diameters, erosion at the inlet end, and cracks that form at tube supports and the tubesheet.

    List of Tube Defects

    ID/OD Pitting This is the most common form of damage in copper alloy tubing
    ID/OD Cracking Can be present in any tube material
    Erosion Caused by flow
    Inlet End Erosion Caused by turbulent flow at the Tube Inlet
    Vibration Damage Occurs between supports
    Cracks at Tubesheet Caused by high stresses
    Defect at support This can be pitting/cracking
    MIC Microbially Induced Corrosion found in stainless steel
    Metallic Deposits Produce signals that can be miscalled as defects
