S&T Pass Partition
S&T Pass Partition
(OP)
Dear heat exchanger folks,
Aside from those in square box headers (Appx 13), does ASME Section VIII address a required thickness or minimum thickness (as TEMA does) for pass partitions in shell & tube heat exchangers?
I couldn't find anywhere that it does.

As a tip, if your pass partition plate is welded to the pressure boundary, I recommend nothing less than full pen welds. Not everyone does that, but the pressure boundary does flex with pressure change and the pass partition plate doesn't (necessarily).
