QUALITY ASSURANCE AND
QUALITY CONTROL
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
programs are in line with ISO 9001, TUV, and
others. The testing and verification process
is rigorous, while our certified inspection
programs meet or exceed industry standards.
Testing includes hydrostatic, pneumatic, and/
or submerged underwater leak testing, as well
as nondestructive and specific testing per
project specifications.
In addition, all materials are inspected upon
receipt, in-process, and at final assembly
stage. Additionally, AirFin quality programs
include third-party independent inspections
when necessary.
Airfin Heat Exchangers
The heart of an air-cooled heat exchanger
is the fin-tube bundle. AirFin designs and
custom-builds these, ensuring strict
adherence to quality standards and project
specifications.

Innovative Technology
HEAT EXCHANGERS
SPX Cooling Technologies has over 40
years of experience in the design and man-
ufacturing of air-cooled heat exchangers.
Our thermal designs are based on SPX
Cooling Technologies’ proprietary computer
programs, and are, as standard procedure,
verified to the latest version of widely
accepted HTRI thermal design software.
The AirFin air-cooled heat exchanger is
designed and manufactured as a forced
draft or induced draft type. Each tube
bundle is constructed, tested, and stamped
in strict accordance with the following rigid
standards
• ASME Section VIII, Division I, with
"U" stamp
• API 661, when applicable
• TEMA, when applicable
• Additional world standards: DIN, British,
JIS, AD-Merkblatt, REGELS
• Chinese standards: GB-150, BR1, GB/
T15386, JB-4730
Project planning and implementation
processes utilize ultramodern computer
software for engineering, design and
manufacturing.
AirFin designs can be completely shop-
assembled, or pre-assembled in modular
pieces for easy on-site field erection, the
choice contingent upon optimum trans-
portation cost benefit to the customer. For
export projects, to ensure that your ship-
ment arrives in perfect condition, we offer
seaworthy packing, with nitrogen fill for
long-term storage.
Our mission is to provide customers
with the finest quality heat transfer
equipment in the industry. Our
objective is to be your worldwide,
preferred partner.
