Hi all and Happy New Year,
Though design philosophies of Codes (especially for Tubesheets in case of HE Design) differ and cannot be cross-compared, given an option to select AD Merkblatt and ASME VIII-2, I seek suggestions on the selection for an exchanger to designed, manufactured and...
Hi all,
We have a case where the mating flange has different surface finish compared to the top flange; one flange has a surface finish value of Ra 3.2-6.3 um, while the other has a surface finish value of 1.6 um.
As per my literature research, the SPW gasket works find under such...
Hi all,
I am new to HEX design and that too using AD Merkblatter Code. Using AutoPipe Vessel, I designed a custom weld-neck flange per B7 & B8 for my BEU exchanger. Subsequently, I designed tubesheet per B5 (6.7.3).
From the report generated by AutoPipe Vessel and further delving into...

Hello,
I am in a fix these days while designing a modified U-tube bundle for a heat exchanger on ASME VIII-I and TEMA ‘R’. Originally, exchanger had a 13 Cr-Mo 44 metal grooved gasket. Now while I am modifying the tube-bundle due to updated process requirements, I need to evaluate the exchanger...
