Connection methods between the heat exchanger tube sheet and the shell and tube box
Thread Content
I am currently calculating a heat exchanger. For this type of tube box and tube sheet connection, should the SW6 calculation be done using the type e or type c approach? Or calculate it in some other way, thank you!
I think when calculating the strength of the tube sheet, it should be calculated based on the e-type；
It is recommended to use the structurally standard approach as much as possible...
Of course it’s the type E, with the flange integrated with the tube sheet. It’s just that the structure is not standard; the studs should pass through the tube sheet.
There’s nothing irregular about it; jobs with high pressure usually have this structure
