requirements for shell and tube exchangers used in general refinery and
petrochemical services.
B.
This Standard does not cover double pipe exchangers, tank heaters, surface
condensers (partially covered), and standard off-the-shelf accessory exchangers
normally furnished with packaged equipment, such as small lube or seal flush
coolers on rotating equipment.

Where conflicts exist between this Engineering Standard and other Polaris
Engineering Standards and/or applicable codes or regulations, the more stringent
requirement shall govern. All conflicts shall be brought to clients attention for
resolution. client shall be the sole arbiter of any conflicts.

7.3.11 New - After hydrotest the tubeside shall be air tested by pressuring the
tubeside with air at 25 psig with the shell sloped, full of water, and the
topmost shell nozzle open to observe air bubbles. Bubbles shall be cause
for rejection.
7.3.12 New - Welded attachments shall be tested with 15 psig air and soap
solution before hydrotest of the exchanger. Vent holes shall remain open
during hydrotest. Plug vent holes with stiff grease before shipment.

The above form is to be completed by the Fabricator, witnessed by Inspector of the client and/or
Polaris, and included with "as-built" drawing submittal to the client and/or Polaris.
NOTE 1. Where yield strengths of tubes used in an Exchanger shell exceed 10% variation due to
heat or mill differences, the Vendor will complete this form for each heat and provide an "asbuilt" tubesheet drawing locating the groups of tubes to assist the client in future re-rollings
when confronted with such variation.
NOTE 2. For background on data revealed by the above, reference is made to a McGraw Hill
Book # ISBN 0-07-072281-1 "A working Guide to Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers" by Stanley
Yokell, Chapter 4, Tube to Tubesheet Joints.
