Notes:
1. Underlined values are stresses determined from the yield stress as a function of temperature.
2. The allowable stresses in the columns for service lives of 104, 2 105 and 3 105 h, marked by the sign “e” above the bar, are taken to be equal to the values in the
column for a service life of 105 h.
3. The allowable pressures with an overbar correspond to the operation of elements under the conditions of creep and are determined from the limit of the long-term
strength for a pertinent service life.

The value of the additive C11 should be determined from the limiting
minus deviation of the wall thickness of tubes of the preselected dimension
80 Handbook for Transversely Finned Tube Heat Exchanger Design
The value of the additive C21 for tubes made of carbon and low-alloy
heat-resistant steels with a design service life of 105 h is determined from
Table 6.6 according to the outside diameter of tubes d and the type of the
internal medium.
The value of the additive C22 in the general case depends on the
temperature of the outside surface of the tube T1, the composition of
the external heat-transfer medium (combustion products), and the type
of metal (the grade of steel) of which the tube is made. To determine
the additive C22, the temperature of the outside surface of the tube t1
should be compared with the allowable temperature [T1], whose values
for carbon and low-alloy heat-resistant steels are presented in Table 6.2
with reference to combustion products of the main power-generating
fuels.
The value of the additive C22 for the service life of the heating service
equal to 105 h should be assumed minimum, proceeding from the
conditions:
for T1 < f½T1 40 Cg C1 þ C2 0:5 mm; [6.11]
for f½T1 40 Cg < T1 ½T1 C1 þ C2 1:0 mm: [6.12]
For example, if T1 < {[T1] 40 C}, C11 ¼ 0.3 mm, C12 ¼ 0 mm, and
C21 ¼ 0.5 mm, then C11 þ C12 þ C21 ¼ 0.8 mm, and for condition [6.11]
to be fulfilled, the additive C22 should be taken to be zero (C22 ¼ 0). If at
the same values of T1 and [T1] C11 ¼ 0.3 mm, C12 ¼ 0 mm, and
C21 ¼ 0 mm, then C11 þ C12 þ C21 ¼ 0.3 mm, and for condition [6.11]
to be fulfilled, it is necessary to assume C22 ¼ 0.2 mm.
The value of the additive C22 for general-purpose tubes made of carbon
steel should be at least 0.4 mm, regardless of the surface temperature, steel
grade, and quality.
For a service life shorter than 105 h, it is admissible to decrease the value
of the additive C22 in proportion to the ratio of a given service life to that
equal to 105 h.
