    Exchanger Tube Thickness and HTC

    Hi, I have the quote from a fabricator to replace the entire unit, which is what we'll end up doing. I was just trying to find how much the resizing will affect our operation, but from everything I've done (and other engineers) all seems fine. Thanks everyone for your help, Rob

    Exchanger Tube Thickness and HTC

    We've got a shell and tube HX which has ruptured - have found cracking in a number of the tubes. When sent away for repair the guy doing the repair said he would never have made the tubes so thin (1.2mm) and would go 1.6mm as a minimum. Nothing more technical than that I'm afraid!

    API 520 or BS2519?

    I think I've found my answer, I've used bar instead of kPa, bit of a dumb morning there...!

    API 520 or BS2519?

    Hi, I've just been doing some bursting disc calculations and seem to be getting different answers depending on whether I use API520 (2008 edition) or BS2519:1990. The value I'm getting with API is around 10-20 times greater than the BS one (there is the factor of 17.9 which would appear to be...
