Tube to TubeSheet Joint Load Test
Tube to TubeSheet Joint Load Test
(OP)
For a double grooved and expanded tube to tubesheet joint is it normal to request mock-up tests to establish the allowable loads as per Appendix A of ASME Div I?
Or are requests made only for specific reasons?

RE: Tube to TubeSheet Joint Load Test
What are you trying to prove with referencing this Appendix - a design basis for shear load carrying capacity to compare tube strength versus roll joint strength under specific service conditions?
