Description / Abstract:
This Practice describes the mechanical design, fabrication,
examination, inspection, testing, and documentation requirements
for shell-and-tube heat exchangers constructed in accordance with
TEMA Standards of the Tubular Exchangers Manufacturers
Association and Code, Section VIII, Division 1 {or 2}.
This Practice is supplemental to the requirements of PIP
VESV1002, Design and Fabrication Specification for
Pressure Vessels, ASME Code Section VIII Divisions 1 and
2.
This Practice does not cover the following types of shell and
tube heat exchangers:
a. Standardized pre-designed (i.e., off-the-shelf) heat
exchangers
b. Heat exchangers with layered construction
Purpose
This Practice provides mechanical design and fabrication
requirements for shell-andtube heat exchangers constructed in
accordance with TEMA Standards of the Tubular Exchangers
Manufacturers Association and ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel
Code, Section VIII, Division 1 or Division 2, henceforth
referred to as the Code. Requirements that are specific to
Code, Section VIII, Division 2 are shown in braces {
