Heat Exchanger Fin damage-Level of acceptance as per Code
(OP)
The Fins of Tube bundle of a Heat exchanger got badly damaged. Bundle is U1 stamped and API 661 requirements to conform.(New construction)
what would be the acceptance limit/criteria in damage of Fins ?

I'd be concerned also with the impact on the tubes, being deflected perhaps excessively and the ends (expanded or welded) in the tubesheets being also overstressed.
