Partition Plate Thickness per TEMA Calculation
Engineering Spreadsheet — Instant Download
What This Spreadsheet Does
Calculates the required thickness of pass partition plates in shell-and-tube heat exchanger channels per TEMA standards. Pass partitions separate tube passes — they’re not pressure boundaries but must resist tube-side differential pressure across passes.
What’s Inside the Excel File
- Inputs — partition plate geometry (height, width, support pattern), differential pressure, plate material allowable stress, corrosion allowance
- Plate thickness per TEMA RCB-9.13
- Edge fixity options — simply supported or fixed
- Stiffener requirement check for large partitions
- Minimum thickness per TEMA tabulated values
Who This Is For
- Heat exchanger design engineers
- Mechanical engineers on shell-and-tube exchangers
- Exchanger detailers and fabricators
- EPC mechanical teams
Codes & Standards Referenced
- TEMA — Standards of the Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association
- TEMA Section RCB-9.13 — Pass Partition Plates
