APPLICATION OF UHX-9.5 IN ASME SEC VIII DIV.1

APPLICATION OF UHX-9.5 IN ASME SEC VIII DIV.1

APPLICATION OF UHX-9.5 IN ASME SEC VIII DIV.1

(OP)
Is application of UHX 9.5 required for sandwiched tubesheet by bolting connection of shell and channel flange of heat exchanger?
 

RE: APPLICATION OF UHX-9.5 IN ASME SEC VIII DIV.1

bgchae, if the bolt loads are not transferred to the tubesheet, no. This would apply to a "reduced diameter" type, or a full diameter with through holes. However if the tubesheet were likely to be exposed to a hydrotest with the channel removed so that the the loads were transferred to the tubesheet rim, then yes.

Regards,

Mike
