R-5.1 of TEMA( minimum inside depth of FH for S&T)
(OP)
Hello Friends,
I am not able to understand and calculate the minimum inside depth requirement between FH and Shell End cover. Could someone expert help me on this preferably with an example please ?
Thanks in advance.

Crossover area can be calculated by any convenient means.

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand

I agree but is there any rule of thumb or criteria for calculating the gap between FH and Tubesheet? Moreover, what judgement is required to provide the sufficient gap between FH outside and shell cover inside surface?
Thanks

Clearance between FH and shell head is governed by practical matters, such as adequate clearance to accommodate differential expansion between bundle and shell, fabrication tolerances, presence of lift or pulling lugs and so forth. Usually you just set it, rather than calculate it.
I doubt I'd make it less than a couple of inches.
