Core Components & Material Specifications
All pressure‑retaining parts, internal elements, and bounding structures of this TEMA heat exchanger finned tube bundle utilize explicitly documented ASME Section II material standards:
-
Tubes Layout: 218 pieces of ASME SA‑213 TP316L (SS316L) bright annealed seamless exchange tubes measuring 25 mm OD * 2 mm wall thickness * 3000 mm length arranged in a 30‑degree layout.
-
Tubesheets: Stationary and floating structural plates configured for a TEMA BES floating head assembly utilizing torque‑controlled expanded and strength‑welded tube‑to‑tubesheet joints.
-
Baffle & Support Plates: 7 cross‑flow pieces of single‑segmental carbon steel plates cut at a 35% diameter ratio and spaced at tight 400 mm central intervals.
-
Shell Cylinder Sections: Heavy‑walled carbon steel plate meeting ASME SA‑516 Grade 70 / Q345R parameters providing a 1.000 mm corrosion allowance.
-
Frame Internals: 6 carbon steel tie rods combined with 3 passlane seal rods and 1 pair of sealing strips positioned along the bundle perimeter to prevent fluid bypass.
-
Process Connection Flanges: Carbon steel RFSO flanged connections rated to PN16 standards for direct integration with external piping networks.
Core Technology & Manufacturing Advantages
-
High‑Temperature Thermal Expansion Accommodation: The TEMA BES horizontal multipass configuration isolates the finned tube bundle from the external shell structure, absorbing axial elongation down to the 350°C process inlet boundary.
-
Automated Expanded & Strength‑Welded Joints: Automated orbital equipment executes structural strength welding of the SA‑213 TP316L stainless steel tubes to the tubesheet, followed by secondary electronic torque expansion.
-
Integrated Fluid Bypass Control: Retaining 1 pair of mechanical sealing strips and 3 passlane seal rods restricts parallel shell‑side water streams to a 0.055 crossflow window fraction.
-
Precision Segmented Baffle Layout: CNC milling machines establish a 400 mm horizontal pitch spacing for the 7 single‑segmental baffles, matching the shell interior clearance to 4.7625 mm.
Strict Quality Control & Testing (QA/QC Specification)
-
Multi‑Circuit Hydrostatic Holding Tests: Completely assembled TEMA heat exchanger bundles undergo separate pressure retention tests at the manufacturing facility matching the 1200 kPaG shell and 1000 kPaG tube limits.
-
Volumetric and Surface Weld NDT: All pressure‑boundary longitudinal and circumferential welding paths undergo 100% volumetric Radiographic Testing (RT) supplemented by Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) on stainless‑to‑carbon steel transition joints.
-
Joint Integrity Helium Leak Audits: The complete matrix of 218 tube‑to‑tubesheet expanded joints undergoes helium mass spectrometer leak detection testing to isolate micro‑porosity before final frame insertion.
-
Third‑Party Regulatory Audits: Every phase of mechanical fabrication, material tracking to original mill certificates, and final dimensional geometry verification allows direct oversight by independent inspection agencies including Bureau Veritas (BV), SGS, or TÜV.
