Description / Abstract:
This Practice contains three data forms for providing
requirements for cylindrical heat exchangers having internal design
pressures equal to or greater than 15 psig (103 kPa) and/or full
vacuum external pressure at the top of the exchanger in its normal
operating position, and are welded, shop- and field-fabricated, and
in accordance with the requirements of the Code, Section
VIII, Division 1 {or Division 2}.
This Practice is required to be used with PIP VECV1001, PIP
VESV1002, PIP VECST001, and PIP VESST002 to specify
requirements, not otherwise specified, that are required by the
Manufacturer to design and fabricate an exchanger.
This Practice also provides instructions to the Purchaser and
the Manufacturer for inserting data and information in the data
forms.
Purpose
This Practice provides data forms and the associated
instructions for specifying requirements for shell-and-tube heat
exchangers constructed in accordance with ASME Boiler and
Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1 or Division 2,
henceforth referred to as the Code. Requirements that are
specific to Code, Section VIII, Division 2 are shown in
