RE: MAWP of tubesheet
If you do make the attempt, you must closely follow the rules of UHX, taking into account the type of tubesheet (floating, fixed, U-tube), expansion cases, mating bolt load, etc. Follow UHX very carefully.

For example, shell & tube exchanger, MAWP for tubesheet, Part UHX. When calculating MAWP for one side, what is the condition for the other side? Is it at zero pressure? Operating pressure? Design pressure? Do you increment pressure for both sides at the same time, i.e. both sides at respective "MAWP"? Pressure only conditions? Pressure plus thermal expansion?
Who knows, I won't touch it. MAWP is design pressure. Period.
