Issues regarding the butt joint between the tube box stub and the tube box flange
Thread Content
The thickness of the heat exchanger tube box stub is greater than the thickness of the smaller end of the long-neck flange connected to it, and is roughly equal to the thickness of the larger end of the flange. What should be done in this situation? Should the flange be made with equal thicknesses at both ends, or should the tube box stub be trimmed? The thickness of the tube box stub is 40 mm, while the thickness of the larger end of the flange is 36 mm and that of the smaller end is 24 mm
It would be best to have images and explanations; I’m not clear about big-endian and little-endian
So is the flange the same thickness on both the large and small ends? Wouldn’t that make it a non-standard flange?
