PURPOSE AND USE OF PROCESS INDUSTRY PRACTICES

In an effort to minimize the cost of process industry facilities, this Practice has
been prepared from the technical requirements in the existing standards of major
industrial users, contractors, or standards organizations. By harmonizing these technical
requirements into a single set of Practices, administrative, application, and engineering
costs to both the purchaser and the manufacturer should be reduced. While this Practice
is expected to incorporate the majority of requirements of most users, individual
applications may involve requirements that will be appended to and take precedence
over this Practice. Determinations concerning fitness for purpose and particular matters
or application of the Practice to particular project or engineering situations should not
be made solely on information contained in these materials. The use of trade names
from time to time should not be viewed as an expression of preference but rather
recognized as normal usage in the trade. Other brands having the same specifications
are equally correct and may be substituted for those named. All Practices or guidelines
are intended to be consistent with applicable laws and regulations including OSHA
requirements. To the extent these Practices or guidelines should conflict with OSHA or
other applicable laws or regulations, such laws or regulations must be followed.
Consult an appropriate professional before applying or acting on any material
contained in or suggested by the Practice.

This Practice is subject to revision at any time.

Process Industry Practices (PIP), Construction Industry Institute, The

University of Texas at Austin, 3925 West Braker Lane (R4500), Austin,
Texas 78759. PIP member companies and subscribers may copy this Practice
for their internal use. Changes, overlays, addenda, or modifications of any
kind are not permitted within any PIP Practice without the express written
authorization of PIP.

Introduction
1.1

Purpose
The purpose of this Practice is to provide instruction and/or direction to designers for
preparation of the PIP Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Specification Sheet (hereafter
referred to as the Specification Sheet). The Specification Sheet, prepared in
conjunction with PIP VESST001, completes a specification suitable for obtaining
comprehensive bids and subsequent purchase of shell and tube heat exchangers.

1.2

Scope
This Practice identifies information to be placed on the PIP Shell and Tube Heat
Exchanger Specification Sheet.

2.

References
Applicable requirements in the latest edition (or the edition indicated) of the following
industry standards and references shall be considered an integral part of this Practice. Short
titles are used herein when appropriate.

Use of this Practice

3.1

Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Specification Sheet

The Specification Sheet is an element of a complete shell and tube heat exchanger
specification. This form provides preprinted line items to be completed by the
designer and/or fabricator. Some sections of this form are optional and will not apply
to some designs or may be omitted when agreed with the User to comply with the
preparers established work process.

3.2

Entering Text and Data

Each numbered line of the Specification Sheet should be properly filled in or marked
with NA to indicate that the information is not applicable. It is suggested that lines
be left blank if the information is not known at the time. Lines not completed indicate
the form is not complete and should be filled in by the designer or manufacturer.
Additional information that may be required, but does not have a preprinted
description line, should be added in the Remarks area of the Specification Sheet.

Appendix B provides an example of a completed Page 4 of the Specification

Sheet.

Specification Sheet
The Specification Sheet provided with this Practice may require multiple pages to
define the shell and tube heat exchanger. Optional information may be:

Performance of One Unit (Page 1): This may be optional when the User or
Process Licensor considers this information proprietary.

Connection Schedule (Page 2), Materials of Construction (Page 2), Gaskets

(Page 2): Used when the Designer/User requires such level of detail to define
materials for individual components. These sections may not be necessary if
the information is defined sufficiently on Page 1.

Thermal Expansion Design Exchanger Design Information (Page 2): This is

required only for exchangers such as fixed tubesheet or single pass floating
head type exchangers where thermal expansion must be considered for the
mechanical design.

Additional Remarks, Sketches, Etc. (Page 3): Used for additional remarks
when sufficient space is not available on Page 1. Also used for schematic
sketches to illustrate required features of the design and tube layouts when
necessary to provide this information to the Manufacturer.

Pages 4 and 5: One or both pages may be necessary when boiling and/or
condensing fluids with ranges of physical properties occur.
