Abstract

The ends of the tubes in the bundles are secured in a baffle plate. The manipulator incorporates an inspection arm which is fed into the boiler through a hollow support strut. The inspection arm carries a mouthpiece which can be made to engage with the end of a tube. Remote controlled inspection instruments and/or tools can be inserted in the tube through the mouthpiece. The instruments can be e.g. swirl measuring probes, while the tool could insert explosive plugs, etc. The inspection arm incorporates a guide tube which passes through the support strut. The end of the guide tube carries a swinging arm with mouthpiece carrier which places the mouthpiece over the tube end.
