Dear all,

I'm trying to do a tubesheet check on a floating head bundle using the French code (CODAP). PVElite/CodeCalc only have ASME, PD5500, TEMA & EN13445 and the Client insist on the analysis to CODAP, any suggestion? Appreciate all comments. Thanks.

Regards,
Azman

Hello azman

PV Elite does not include CODAP. We are not going to include that code, at least, not for the foreseeable future. There is software that is available that does cater for CODAP, but for us to develop this code would not justify the investment in time and expense, as we could not recover our development costs.

You can use EN13445 tubesheet, it may be similar to CODAP. The current version of PV Elite addresses EN13445 U-tube exchangers. In The 2011 version of PV Elite, the EN13445 Fixed and floating exchangers will also be available.
