The SA-266 Grades 1 and 2 carbon steel forgings could be used for welded tube plugs. A better alternative for welded plugs for use on SA-179 tubes would be an SA-311, Class A, Grade 1018 carbon steel bar. What is the tubesheet material?

This is LEAN AMINE TRIM COOLER.Cooling water in tubes while amine solution is toward shell side. The material for tube sheet is A-266 cl2.

There is an alternative if you don't want to make your own tubes though. Try:

These are something I've been wanting to try out for sealing up leaking cooling water bundles. I don't know if I'd trust them in anything else, but it may be worth a shot in the cooling water side of things. We've tried some similar plugs and found them quite easy to use.

Unless you really want to do it yourself call ES, they do it for a living.

Just remember that you have to buy the "Pop-A-Plug" tool for installation.
You also might want to look at 2 piece plugs for a lot less money..
