This Practice provides data forms and the associated instructions for specifying requirements for shell-and-tube heat exchangers constructed in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1 or Division 2, henceforth referred to as the Code. Requirements that are specific to Code, Section VIII, Division 2 are shown in braces {}.

This Practice contains three data forms for providing requirements for cylindrical heat exchangers having internal design pressures equal to or greater than 15 psig (103 kPa) and/or full vacuum external pressure at the top of the exchanger in its normal operating position, and are welded, shop- and field-fabricated, and in accordance with the requirements of the Code, Section VIII, Division 1 {or Division 2}.
