    This document contains mechanical standards for tube layout in shell and tube heat exchangers. It specifies that triangular tube patterns should not be used if the shell side needs mechanical cleaning. It also provides guidelines for minimum tube pitch and cleaning lane widths depending on the type of joint and shell diameter to allow proper mechanical cleaning of the tubes. Tube spacing must be at least 1.25 times the outer tube diameter and cleaning lanes must be at least 1/4 inch wide for certain configurations.

    MECHANICAL STANDARDS TEMA CLASS R C B SECTION 5

    RCB-2.42 TRIANGULAR PAlTERN


    Triangular or rotated triangular pattern should not be used when the shell side is to be
    cleaned mechanically.
    R-2.5 TUBE PITCH
    Tubes shall be spaced with a minimum center-to-center distance of 1.25 times the outside diameter
    of the tube. When mechanical cleaning of the tubes is specified by the purchaser, minimum
    cleaning lanes of 1/4" (6.4 mm) shall be provided.
    C-2.5 TUBE PITCH
    Tubes shall be spaced with a minimum center-to-center distance of 1.25 times the outside diameter
    of the tube. Where the tube diameters are 5/8"(15.9 mm) or less and tube-to-tubesheet joints are
    expanded only, the minimum center-to-center distance may be reduced to 1.20 times the outside
    diameter.
    8-2.5 TUBE PITCH
    Tubes shall be spaced with a minimum center-to-center distance of 1.25 times the outside diameter
    of the tube. When mechanical cleaning of the tubes is specified by the purchaser and the nominal
    shell diameter is 12 in. (305 mm) or less, minimum cleaning lanes of 3/16" (4.8 mm) shall be
    provided. For shell diameters greater than 12 in. (305 mm), minimum cleaning lanes of 114" (6.4
    mm) shall be provided.
