Question regarding Heat Exchanger Nameplate
(OP)
I've seen a U-Tube Heat exchanger designed to EN13445 to have a nameplate which contains the field:
TYPE/SIZE: BEU / I/DIA x STRAIGHT TUBE LENGTH
Where is this derived from? Is this any old ASME Practice because I can't find any info about it.
What is the practical benefit of having the I/D and Straight tube length stamped on the nameplate. Who does it help On Site?
Thanks!

What about tube size, pitch, tube count and baffle arrangement? Because on this particular nameplate there is nothing else than design, test & operating temperatures and pressures, and contained fluid.
What is the chance anybody would be able to read this information after 20 years of service on a offshore platform in salty water?
Just thinking.
