Tube expansion depth ratio
Tube expansion depth ratio
(OP)
HI
I am preparing calculation with ASME 8 div 1 concerning tubesheet. I forgot wthat does it mean: "Tube expansion depth ratio"
Value is not in inches / mm
Could You write small explanation ?
Thanks

RE: Tube expansion depth ratio
I have one program uses 95% by default, although actual depth can be entered, in length units.
Another just uses the depth in length units only.
BTW, it's Sec VIII, not 8 :)

RE: Tube expansion depth ratio
Range for this value is from 0 to 1, without unit
I think, your first advice is correct
Yes, you have right, ASME VIII, I don't remember when made exchanger calculation with ASME code, maybe in 2009 ?
