#33691 - 03/16/10 08:38 PM Axial Differential Expansion in ASME Tubesheet Analysis
Lim Member Registered: 09/12/07 Posts: 12 Loc: Malaysia	Hi. I realise that in the PV Elite 2010 version, the ASME tubesheet analysis for the fixed tubesheet show the summary of axial differential expansion as per below: Summary of Axial Differential Expansion bet. Shell and Tubes : Due to Thermal Expansion Exp. Jt. Compresses by : -13.210 mm Due to Pressure Exp. Jt. Extends by : +5.250 mm Due to Pressure + Thermal Exp. Jt. Compresses by : -13.210 mm I know that the axial differential expansion due to thermal expansion is calculated in the UHX-13.5.5 Step 5 but what about the axial differential due to pressure? How it was calculated? Please show me some guide. Thanks you.
