I  NETEC uses a mechanical plugging technology for the installation
of leak resistant plugs on both ends of the tube to prevent the flow
of media through the defective steam generator
the main characteristics of the mechanical plugging technology are the following:
fast plug installation
plug removal possibility
small number of simple installation steps
possibility to control plugging process
possibility of in-service inspection of plug
very good records in service life
plugging module is mounted on INETEC eddy current inspection system
so called CASTOR
t  he positioning of the manipulator is achieved by application
of machine vision EddyOne Vision
software for plugging EddyOne Plugging is a part of the EddyOne Software Package
STEAM GENERATOR
