Note:
Tube-to-tubesheet welds per ASME VIII. TEMA standards also apply for heat exchanger design. Consult UW-20 figures for specific joint details.
Reference
ASME VIII: Strength weld min throat = 0.5 x t_tube Seal weld may be smaller but must prevent leakage Per ASME VIII Div 1 Fig UW-20.1 through UW-20.3
