What is the wall thickness of a heat exchanger with an outer diameter O.D. of 377 mm?
Thread Content
There is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, with an outer diameter O.D. of the shell of 377 mm. So what is the wall thickness? ? What standard is being referenced? ? ?
A heat exchanger shell of such a large diameter can be made from tubes. However, a diameter of 377 mm was the previous national standard size and is no longer commonly used. The standard specification should be 355.6 mm. If the pressure on the shell side of the heat exchanger is not high, a standard wall thickness can be used, which is 10 mm.
The calculation should be based on the calculated pressure, design temperature, and material, after which a thickness should be selected.
May I ask: What is the standard number for the national standard of 377mm? Do you remember it? Also, the specification should be 355.6 mm; which standard does this come from? Thank you
This seems to be related to stress; the usual values are 8, 10, and 12
Just as you would normally calculate for a shell, enter the necessary parameters using SW6: the outer diameter of the device is 377, and the thickness is set at 8; then check the results after the calculation
