    Abstract: A grit blasting arrangement for cleaning chemical reactor tubes includes means for ensuring the grit blast nozzle is coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the tube to be cleaned. The grit blasting device for cleaning tubes spaced apart by upper and lower tubesheets. The grit blasting device includes a grit blast nozzle mounted on a positioning frame and projecting outwardly with an outlet directed into a tube opening during a cleaning operation. The device includes a plurality of stop pins mounted on the positioning frame designed to abut a tubesheet and to define an imaginary plane coplanar with the tubesheet. The plurality of stop pins when abutting the tubesheet prevent the outlet of the nozzle from extending into the tube causing a venturi effect.

    Abstract: A sphere precision machining device and a machining method comprise a cavity, an abrasive grain stream, and a circulation device. The cavity holds the workpiece, and comprises two hollow hemispheres, each of said two hemispheres being provided with a main flow channel. Said main flow channel is connected to the cavity. One end of the main flow path of each of the two said hemispheres is connected to a circulating means by which a stream of abrasive grains is made to grind the workpiece. A plurality of main flow channels are disposed homogeneously inside the hemisphere, each of said main flow channels being provided with a plurality of branch flow channels connected to the cavity, said branch flow channels tapering in the flow direction. The present disclosure uses the difference in abrasive grain flow pressure on the surface of the workpiece to achieve precision machining.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the hydro-erosive processing of components, in which hydro-erosive grinding a liquid containing grinding particles flows over surfaces of the component (1), in a device having a channel (3), through which the liquid containing grinding particles flows under pressure and in which the component (1) to be ground is held and in which a valve (5) is positioned upstream of the component (1) in the flow direction, by means of which valve the flow of the liquid can be adjusted.

    Abstract: System for reduction of dimensional end-taper in abrasive blasted tubes has a pressurized chamber maintaining higher air pressure inside the chamber than atmospheric pressure, an air-exit port allowing gases to exit the chamber at a controlled rate, a valve restricting passage of gases from the air-exit port, a pressurized membrane through which the tube passes creating a seal, a gauge port where pressure inside the pressurized chamber is monitored and a media-exit port allowing evacuation of abrasive blast media particles after being expelled from the exit-end of the tube. The system addresses dimensional end-taper as high back pressure at the exit end of the tube reduces velocity of the gases and abrasive particles carried in it, thereby reducing erosion of the inner walls of the tube near its exit end. The system can be employed with a wide range of tube sizes and in combination with several abrasive blasting techniques.
