UHX module package

Design of Tubesheets acc. ASME BPVC UHX (2004)

Fundamentals

Since January 2005, section UHX of ASME BPVC VIII-1 replaces the previous design acc. to TEMA

Program features

The module package UHX is divided into three modules for U-tube, fixed and floating tubesheet heat exchangers acc. section UHX of the ASME BPVC Part VIII-1. The package comprises:

• Module UHXa U-tubesheets acc. UHX-12
• Module UHXb Fixed tubesheets acc. UHX-13
• Module UHXc Floating tubesheets acc. UHX-14
• The required calculation cases 1-7 for shell or tube side pressure and thermal expansion.
• Input of the configuration (a-f) for fixed tubesheets and (A-D) for floating tubesheets.
• Calculation of the operation and test cases.
• Detailed help file in Adobe-pdf format including all examples acc. ASME-UHX-20

After specification of all items, the stresses in the tubesheet are calculated and the strength conditions are tested. The configuration of the tubesheet can be selected according to the heat exchanger type. The final specifications for the calculation cases 1-7 and the second tubesheet of a floating tubesheet heat exchanger can automatically be connected and recalculated with the help of additional calculation chapters.

UHX module package: 1.200,-- EUR plus VAT

Supplements

1. Module TEB for tubesheets acc. to the Exchanger Manufacturers Association (TEMA) outside of the scope of UHX or for replacement of components designed acc. to previous ASME Codes.
2. The additional module TEM can calculate stresses acc. to TEMA due to thermal expansion of the tubes and shell or the flange moment, resp.. (Price: 410,- EUR + VAT )
