Abstract
An apparatus for measuring the surface pore size in an externally enhanced evaporator tube. Basically, the apparatus includes a pressure housing and gage that are sealingly engagable around a portion of the surface of the enhanced tube, so that fluid pressure flows into the housing and then through the pores and subsurface channels on the tube and then to the outside of the housing. The pressure drop across the pores and subsurface channels of the tube relates to the size of the pores.
