Welding is an integral part of manufacturing and refurbishing instrumentation and process systems both in existing and new construction nuclear applications.
Tyne’s advanced welding technology and highly skilled welders perform to our approved welding procedures in TIG, stick, stud welding and automatic tube welding.
Our welding qualifications and procedures are designed to meet and exceed nuclear industry standards and requirements.
Tyne understands the importance of appropriate leak testing methods when commissioning nuclear components and systems into service.
We thoroughly test the integrity and leak tightness of technologies used in nuclear applications across multiple industries. Our customers are assured that the components and systems will operate reliably and safely.
Our facilities and specialized engineers are fully equipped to carry out helium leak testing to 1 x 10E-9 atm cc/s. Our strong partnerships allow us to claim full nondestructive evaluation (NDE) performance and manufacturing capabilities.
The performance of advanced vacuum technologies is critical to successful operation of components and systems not only within nuclear power plants (NPP), but also in nuclear applications across industries.
Tyne has been designing and building high and ultra high vacuum systems for the nuclear power industry worldwide for over 25 years. We specialize in LN2 and He cryogenics, having designed and built equipment employing cryotraps and multiple other system technologies.
We are fully licensed to carry depleted uranium. We supply industry leading getterbed technology and also manufacture small test sources including americium 241, and amorphous silicon-bound tritium sources.
Tyne designs and manufactures a broad range of high pressure vessels operating up to 600 psig and temperatures up to 1000°C. We incorporated one such vessel in the design and manufacturing of a combustion chamber/oxidizer we built for Ontario Hydro.
We not only provide custom design of pressure vessels, but we specialize in the design and manufacturing of complex nuclear process systems, pilot plants and modular plants. Our manufacturing complies with all ASME (including pressure vessel code), CRN and PED requirements and standards.
