FOREWORD
This specification covers the minimum requirements for the design and fabrication of shell-and-tube heat
exchangers built to TEMA and ASME Section VIII, Division 1 or Division 2. This specification
supplements PIP VESST001, May 2009 Edition, which shall be considered an integral part of this
specification.
Paragraph numbers of this specification correspond to those in PIP VESST001. Paragraphs shall be
highlighted as shown below to indicate the type of change to PIP VESST001:
(Modification) Minor changes have been made to the existing paragraph, but not a substitution
invalidating the paragraph.
1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
1.1 Purpose
1.2 Scope
(Addition) The requirements stated herein are supplementary to the data listed on the
Data Sheet(s).
(Modification) National Board registration of heat exchangers stamped with the Code “U”
{“U2”} symbol is required unless such requirement is waived by the Owner.
2. REFERENCES
(New) – ASME B16.20 – Metallic Gaskets for Pipe Flanges: Ring-Joint, Spiral-
Wound, and Jacketed

4. RESPONSIBILITIES
4.1 General
4.3 Conflicts
4.4 Documentation
4.5 Language
5. DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
5.1 General
5.1.4 (New) TEMA, Section 10, Recommended Good Practice is mandatory, except
for RGP-T-2.4. Fouling factors are specified on the Data Sheet(s).
5.2.6 (Addition) Also, all exchangers with bundles designed for differential pressure
shall have a visible warning plate adjacent to, or part of, the nameplate outlining
test pressure restrictions for differential design pressure.

Revision 1
5.11.6 (New) Lifting lugs shall be designed per ASME B30.30, with maximum stress
being no greater than 1/3 of yield stress. Manufacturer’s lifting lug design and
calculations, along with lifting arrangement, shall be submitted to the Purchaser
for review and approval.
5.13 Nozzles
5.13.13 (New) Auxiliary connections such as vents, drains, and instrument connections
shall be provided with gaskets, bolting, and blind flanges or plugs rated for
design conditions unless the Data Sheet specifies a higher rating. Gaskets shall
be spiral wound.
5.15 Flanges
5.16 Supports
5.18.4.5 (Addition) Floating head support plates shall be cut out as much as
possible and trimmed beyond the top and bottom tube rows.
5.18.4.10 (New) Full support plates for U-bends and X-shells, if used, shall be
trimmed beyond the top and bottom tube rows.
5.19 Attachments
6. MATERIALS
6.1 General
6.5 Protection of Austenitic Stainless Steel Equipment from Stress Corrosion Cracking
6.6 Gaskets
(Addition) Metallic gaskets for pipe flanges shall be in accordance with ASME B16.20.
7. FABRICATION
7.1 General
7.5 Welding
8.1 Examination
8.2 Inspection
9.2.2 (Substitution) For flanged joints specified to be furnished with service gaskets,
two (2) spare gaskets (in addition to any required for initial field assembly in
Section 8.3.10) shall be furnished and suitably packaged, marked, and shipped
with the heat exchanger for the following joints: flanged joints having other than
AMSE B16.5 flanges with other than commercially available sheet or laminate
gaskets. Unless otherwise specified, two (2) sets of unused spare service
gaskets shall be furnished by the Manufacturer for non-ANSI body flanges and
other non-standard flanges. Service gaskets used for testing shall be left
installed for all blind flanged connections.
