Should the volume of the shell side of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger be reduced by accounting for the volume of the heat exchange tubes and similar components?

As title: When calculating the shell-side volume of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, should the volume of the heat exchange tubes and similar components be deducted?
According to clause 3.0.4 on volume in HG/T20580-2011, for shell-and-tube heat exchangers, the volume of the shell side should exclude the volume of the heat exchange tube bundle, while the volume of the tube side should equal the internal volume of the tube box plus the total internal volume of all the heat exchange tubes.
Non-removable internals must be deducted, and the volume is also determined in the same way when classifying containers.
Yes, the volume occupied by the restraint part needs to be deducted.
The volume of the heat exchange tubes must be deducted. . . . . .
The components that are permanently attached to the shell should be deducted
