TEMA Training

TEMA Training

TEMA Training

(OP)
Does anyone know of an organization that offers training in the TEMA Standard? I did not see any training offered on the TEMA website.
Thanks.

RE: TEMA Training

stanrick, never heard of any, just buy the standard and study it, it's mostly simple stuff. At least the 8th Ed. is, I haven't seen the 9th

Regards,

Mike

 

RE: TEMA Training

yeah, TEMA is a joy to work with compared to section VIII!  if you've used sect. VIII, TEMA won't give you a lick of trouble, stanrick.

RE: TEMA Training

The only issue I have with TEMA vs Sec VIII (Div 1, UHX) is the thickness of baffles.  Regularly, I know that a thinner baffle is acceptable, but the customer wants TEMA R.  I quote TEMA R baffles, and I get undercut by another fabricator.  Sometimes I swear that they are using thinner baffles and not telling the customer.  Maybe I'm just paranoid.

RE: TEMA Training

(OP)
Thanks all. I've ordered the 9th edition.

Just one thing, though: I've been told by a more senior engineer that many of the TEMA Mechanical Standards are only "recommendations". An actual design needs only to be close to the Standard. It seems to me, then, that "meeting" TEMA Standards is different from "meeting" the ASME Code. Does the TEMA Standard make a clear distinction between "recommendations" and "requirements"?

RE: TEMA Training

stanrick, standards are just that, standards.

TEMA standards are generally minimums and cover things particular to S&T exchangers that the Code does not. They do not carry the force of law as a Code does, but...

If the client requires that a design meet the standards for some TEMA class, then to my mind, they are requirements, not recommendations.

Regards,

Mike
