What is the Joint efficiency for welded tubes like SA-214

What is the Joint efficiency for welded tubes like SA-214

What is the Joint efficiency for welded tubes like SA-214

(OP)
I came across an ASME SEC. VIII DIV 1, ug-27, design thickness calculation for 1.25in, 0.06in MW, SA-214 condenser tubes that assumed a joint efficiency of 1. However SA-214 is an ERW tubing and I am pretty sure that RTs are not done on these tubes. Can the joint efficiency really be 1?

The tubes are finned and roller expanded into each header on a tube bundle.

RE: What is the Joint efficiency for welded tubes like SA-214

EVPeng21, joint efficiency of 1 is correct. See Sec II, Part D, Table 1A, Note G24.

Regards,

Mike

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

RE: What is the Joint efficiency for welded tubes like SA-214

ERW pipe/tube is still being made? I thought this problematic process had been made obsolete by high frequency welding.

A lot has changed since the 90s. You don't surf the Web using dial-up anymore, so why are you still using a legacy PLM solution that's blocking your ability to innovate? To develop and launch products today, you need a flexible, cloud-based PLM, not a solution that's stuck in the past. Download Now
White Paper - Using Virtualization for IVI and AUTOSAR Consolidation on an ECU
Current approaches used to tackle the complexities of a vehicle’s electrical and electronics (E/E) architecture are both cost prohibitive and lacking in performance. Utilizing virtualization in automotive software architecture provides a better approach. This can be achieved by encapsulating different heterogeneous automotive platforms inside virtual machines running on the same hardware. Download Now
