How do we design Fin fan Air Coolers Header boxs... any criteria as per ASME. Can we U-stamp it. Can we design it using PV-Elite or Code Calc ?

Please read the Appendix 13 of ASME VIII Div 1. Yes, you can U-stamp it. I also suggest to read the entire ASME VIII Div 1, then Div 2 and perhaps Div 3. Very useful also ASME Sec II, Table D, ASME IX and many, many more books related to the pressure vessel design.

You can use Rectangular/Non-circular vessel module in CodeCalc for the header box. It is based on Appendix 13. There is also an example file supplied with the program called "Rctexmpl.cci" that you review.
