In the design of a shell and tube heat exchanger, the corrosion allowance ____________________?

Correct answer: E. All A., B. & C.

  • A. Need not be provided for non-pressure parts like tie rods, spacers, baffles, supports etc.
  • B. For carbon steel and cast iron pressure parts is 1.5 mm (except for tubes) and for severe
  • C. conditions it is 3 mm
  • D. For internal cover and tube sheet is provided on both the sides
  • E. All A., B. & C.

Explanation

The listed practices are standard corrosion-allowance rules: non-pressure attachments may be exempt, carbon-steel and cast-iron pressure parts commonly use 1.5 mm or 3 mm for severe service, and relevant cover or tubesheet surfaces may require allowance on both sides. Thus the combined option applies.
