For application to Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers of Fixed Tube sheet type, designed to ASME Sec Viii Div 1 and TEMA, with Expansion Bellows / Joints on Shell.
1. Expansion Bellows are understood as thin wall bellows designed to ASME Sec VIII Div 1 UHX-16 / Appendix 26 and to EJMA.
1.1 However, some times clients do not prefer thin wall bellows on Shell of Fixed Tube sheet Exchangers.

2. Expansion Joints are understood as Thick wall type - Flanged & Flued or Flanged only (usually of same thickness as Shell) designed to ASME Sec VIII Div 1 UHX-17 / Appendix 5 / TEMA-FEA.

3. Does PV Elite cover the design of both the above types.
