Googling brought this response from the Hendix Group website (always informative):
"Depending on the configuration of the finned tubes, you might consider boroscope inspection. Ultrasonic wall thickness (IRIS) inspection may also be a possibility, depending on the diameter of the tubes. Finned BFW tubes are difficult to inspect and you may have to sacrifice one or two properly selected ones."
Hope this helps.
