ABSTRACT:
A method of repairing a defective tube in a tube-in-shell heat exchanger which entails inserting within the defective tube a tubular sleeve and sealingly bonding the end regions of the sleeve to the tube to bridge the defect, the tubular sleeve having axial flexibility (for example by being circumferentially corrugated). The sleeve may be mechanically keyed to the tube at positions adjacent to the bonding at the end regions of the sleeve.
