You can reach out service company (such as Conco) and ask them about leak testing.

You can do it on tube-to-tubesheet joints, but entire HX (especially in service) tend to have way too many leaks to make He practical as your first leak test. Even if there is a He test requirement people often test with something less sensitive first, fix the big leaks and the re-test.

songkarn, it really would depend on the materials used and design requirements
