I am working on a girth flange for a ten tube pass heatexchanger.
the seating width of pass partition rib is 3/8" ( N shown on sketch of TEMA RGP-RCB-11.7).
I am not sure which number I should input to compress as a effective width 3/8" or 3/16"?
TEMA RGP-RCB-11.7 is not very clear in this point.
Due to long length of pass partition rib, this number will effect size of bolts in my case.
