Thankyou for your response, Mike.
We are not using welded long baffle due to maintenance requirements(ease of bundle pulling for cleaning).
To be more specific, i want to know how we can calculate the thickness of a longitudinal baffle (with lamiflex seal) for a shell side pressure drop of 1.1...
As per TEMA R- 4.421 : "Longitudinal baffles with leaf seals shall not be less than 1/4" (6.4 mm) nominal metal thickness".
Does the above thickness apply to all pressure drop conditions?? How do we calculate the thickness of longitudinal baffle (with lamiflex seals) if the pressure drop is...
I am facing a little confusion regarding the use of API 579 for turbomachinery parts. When I refer to Section 1.2.2 & 1.2.6 of API 579 (Scope), it says that the FFS assessment procedures in ASME FFS-1 can be used to evaluate flaws commonly encountered in pressure vessels, piping and tanks...
We are facing chronic cracks on the inner side of a steam turbine's outer casing. We intend to perform the fitness for service assessment to find the critical crack length and remaining life of the casing. Can we use API 579 code for the evaluation of this turbine casing?
Does API 579 rules also...
Can anyone explain how to correctly interpret the alternate sustained load case in Caesar 2016 on wards. What significance it holds in the overall piping system and can we ignore this alternate sustained load case in any situation?
Secondly, with specific reference to a process piping example...
I am analyzing a B 31.3 piping which connects to a heat exchanger which rests on spring supports. Can anyone help me about how to model a spring supported heat exchanger in Caesar?
Hi everyone,
Can anyone provide the reference of how to design fillet welded Tube-Tubesheet joint in Merkblatter.
In my opinion, calculations given in para 6.7.1.3 of ADM code (Section B5) are only valid for combined groove and fillet weld as shown in figure 11 of section B5.

Adil...
