How to Design Test Ring for Heat Exchanger in PVELITE or Autopipe ? 1

[SmallInfo]

Hello Experts,
I have to design a test ring of an in-service heat exchanger but in PVELIT or Autopipe it does not give option to design test ring, how do you guys design it using these softwares?
Thanks in advance

AutoPIPE is for pipe stress analysis, so that software will never be able to do this. Or did you mean AutoPIPE Vessel?

SmallInfo, the software may not do it within a model. Shocking, I know

It appears to me the split backing rings would be per Apx 2-9, the covers per UG-34.

Regards,

Mike



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