SUMMARY

This discussion addresses critical calculations and standards related to heat exchangers, specifically focusing on tube thinning allowance during expansion, welding standards for tube to tube sheet joints, minimum inner radius calculations for floating head covers, and criteria for selecting sliding and sealing strip dimensions. Participants are advised to reference the ASME Section VIII Division 1 code and TEMA Standards for comprehensive guidelines. These standards are essential for ensuring safety and efficiency in heat exchanger design and operation.

PREREQUISITES
  • ASME Section VIII Division 1 code
  • TEMA Standards
  • Heat exchanger design principles
  • Welding techniques for tube joints
NEXT STEPS
  • Study ASME Section VIII Division 1 for pressure vessel design requirements
  • Review TEMA Standards for heat exchanger specifications
  • Learn about tube thinning allowance calculations in heat exchangers
  • Investigate methods for calculating pull-out loads in heat exchanger mock-up tests
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, designers, and technicians involved in heat exchanger design, manufacturing, and testing will benefit from this discussion, particularly those focused on compliance with industry standards and optimizing heat exchanger performance.

Hi all...
can anyone help me thru these questions...

a) % of thinning allowance calculation of tubes while expansion

b) standard drwg. for tube to tube sheet weld joints

c) Inner Radius (Min.) calculation for floating Head Cover In AES Heat Exchanger

d) Selection criteria for sliding strip/sealing strip width & thk only, length will be considered according to tube bundle length

e) calculation for finding PULL OUT LOAD ( for conduct mock up test)

kindly respond

Thanks in Advance...
