Tube Sheet Layout

(/tubesheet-layout.html)Shell and tube heat exchangers are complex and more expensive than
ordinary pressure vessels. Also the strength calculation is more difficult. Part of the design
process includes the determination of the amount of tubes to be used in the heat exchanger.
The number and length of the tubes create the area thru which the heat is transferred from one
process medium to the other. The outside of the shell and tube heat exchanger is mostly a
cylindrical form which make the calculation by hand for the amount of tubes difficult. The number
of tubes and the dimensions are required to execute the calculation for the tube sheet.

The Tube Sheet Lay-out page facilitates the calculation of the amount of tubes. The calculation
can be done for four (4) pitch patterns (how the tubes are laid out) and for ten (10) types of
passes (tube compartments).

Flange Dimensions
(/ ange-dimension.html)Flanges are used on equipment
for the nozzles and in piping systems. The flanges are
bolted together with a gasket in between to prevent
leackage. The dimensions of flanges in piping systems and
also the smaller flanges on equipment are standardized.
Equipment such as pressure vessels can also have
so-called body flanges. These flanges are specially made
for the diameter of the equipment and are designed and
calculated individually.

Pipe Dimensions
(/pipe-dimension.html)Pipes are standard components
used in process plants. The dimensions (wall thickness) are
standardized. The below figure gives the legend for the
dimensions used on the Pipe Dimension page.

Material Properties
Material properties are necessary for the strength calculations of components and equipment in
the process industry. The material properies page on this website is only for reference and
order of magnitude when using the head and shell calculation pages.

The data for the material database comes from an out-of-date listing of materials and is for
demonstration purposes only. The figures from the material properties pages can not be used

PED Classi cation

This page provides a starting point when dealing with equipment or piping according the
Pressure Equipment Directive. The first step is usually to determine the classification category
of the equipment or piping. This classification defines the further requirements such as material
certificates, design method and calculations, testing and documentation requirements.

PED classification procedure in short

Provide a tag (or equipment) number and optionally a name to identify the subject item
Indicate the type of equipment which will define one of the three table groups (1,2,3,4 or 5
or 6,7,8,9)
Only for the pressure accessory it is required to indicate the assessment background
(volume or nominal size of pipe)
Select the fluid state and group, this will define the applicable table
Enter the maximum pressure, maximum temperature (is sometimes required for example
generators), the volume (for equipment and accessories) or the nominal diameter DN (for
piping and accessories)
The additional information is required to be selected where applicable to determine possible
exceptions to the classification tables

Tank Fluid Volume

the volume of a horizontal drum with a measured liquid
level.
