Hello,
I need to do a calculation of a test ring for hydrotest for a BEU tema type shell and tube heat exchanger. Mechanical design software (Compress or others) usually don’t have the exactly way to model this ring with the special considerations that implies. For example, if test ring is used for hydrotesting channel side, you need to hold the channel to tubesheet with the help of this test ring, but the test ring will not have the effect of internal pressure of shell side... (Softwares does not consider this option)
Any guideline on this issue, Excel spreadsheet, or typical calculation would be very helpful...
Thanks in advance
