IPS-G-ME-220(2)

FOREWORD
The Iranian Petroleum Standards (IPS) reflect
the views of the Iranian Ministry of Petroleum
and are intended for use in the oil and gas
production facilities, oil refineries, chemical and
petrochemical plants, gas handling and
processing installations and other such facilities.
IPS is based on internationally acceptable
standards and includes selections from the items
stipulated in the referenced standards. They are
also supplemented by additional requirements
and/or modifications based on the experience
acquired by the Iranian Petroleum Industry and
the local market availability. The options which
are not specified in the text of the standards are
itemized in data sheet/s, so that, the user can
select his appropriate preferences therein.
The IPS standards are therefore expected to be
sufficiently flexible so that the users can adapt
these standards to their requirements. However,
they may not cover every requirement of each
project. For such cases, an addendum to IPS
Standard shall be prepared by the user which
elaborates the particular requirements of the
user. This addendum together with the relevant
IPS shall form the job specification for the
specific project or work.
The IPS is reviewed and up-dated approximately
every five years. Each standards are subject to
amendment or withdrawal, if required, thus the
latest edition of IPS shall be applicable
The users of IPS are therefore requested to send
their views and comments, including any
addendum prepared for particular cases to the
following address. These comments and
recommendations will be reviewed by the
relevant technical committee and in case of
approval will be incorporated in the next revision
of the standard.

IPS-G-ME-220(2)

Shell and tube heat exchangers are designed and

fabricated to Standards of the Tubular
Exchanger
Manufacturers
Association
(TEMA)". The TEMA Standards list three
mechanical standard classes of exchanger
constructions R, C and B; the classes R and C
are usually considered. (Class B is very similar
to class C). Equipment fabricated in accordance
with the requirements of class R will adequately
meet the heavy duty service requirements of
refinery units. However, there are numerous
applications which do not require this type of
construction.

B C R

R .(

.
.

Steam surface condensers shall be designed and

fabricated in accordance with the standard for
steam surface condensers published by the Heat
Exchange Institute unless specified otherwise.
They are characterized by low fouling and
corrosion tendencies, requiring fouling factors
not exceeding 0.00034 m2.c/W and corrosion
allowances not exceeding 3.2 mm for the unit
under consideration. Such units would be
considered low-maintenance items. Services
falling in this category are water-to-water
exchangers, air coolers and similar non-hydrocarbon applications, as well as some light duty
hydrocarbon services such as light ends
exchangers, offsite lube oil heaters and some
tank suction heaters. For such services, class C
construction should be considered. Although
units fabricated to either class R or class C
standards comply with all the requirements of
the pertinent codes, (ASME or other national
codes), class C units are designed for maximum
economy and may result in a cost saving of up
to 5% over class R.

1.5 Selection of Type

IPS-G-ME-220(2)
5-1

The following order of preference shall be used

in selecting a type of heat exchanger:

a) Fixed tube sheet heat exchangers shall be

used only in services where all of the
following conditions are satisfied:

- Stresses caused by differential expansion

between the tubes and the shell shall not
exceed the design stress limits. A floating
head type or U-tube type heat exchanger
should be selected if flexibility is required
to avoid overstressing. The use of a flexible
shell element is allowed only if required by
specific process requirements and shall be
agreed by the Purchaser.

- Shell side fluid is non-fouling, or shell

scenarios shall be considered.

b) U-tube bundle heat exchangers shall be

used only in services where at least one of
the following conditions are satisfied:
- Tube side mechanical cleaning is not
required or, if it is required, then
mechanical cleaning shall be possible. In
this respect tube side mechanical cleaning is
considered possible if the centre to centre
distance between the parallel legs of the Utube is at least 150 mm. However, this latter
option may be used only if required by
specific process requirements

The single-pass shell, Type E, shall be selected

for general duties, except as indicated below:

E
:

- Where the temperature profile of the

process fluids (temperature cross) requires
two or more heat exchangers with more than
one tube side pass in series, the Type F may
be considered in order to reduce the number
of shells in series.

- Where the shell side pressure drop is a

constraint, the divided flow shell Type J or
crossflow shell Type X or double-split flow
shell Type H should be considered.

reboilers, the split flow shell, Type G or
Type H, should be selected.

1.5.2 Front end and rear end selection

In general, bonnet Type B should be used for

the front end stationary head. For watercooled
exchangers where frequent tube side cleaning is
anticipated and the tube side design pressure is
less than 10 bar (ga), the front end stationary
head shall be Type A.
Rear end head Type M should be used for fixed
tubesheet designs; however, for heat exchangers
with a Type A front end stationary head and an
odd number of tube passes, Type L shall be
selected.

Rear end head Type S should be used for

floating head type heat exchangers with a
nominal shell diameter of more than DN 250.
For heat exchangers with a shell diameter up to
