Tube Rupture Case

The document discusses tube rupture in shell and tube heat exchangers, focusing on the application of the 2/3 and 10/13 rules for pressure safety valve (PSV) requirements. It explains the conditions under which tube rupture can lead to overpressure and the importance of corrected test pressure in evaluating these scenarios. The author provides insights on calculating corrected test pressure and emphasizes its relevance in assessing tube rupture risks.

When tube ruptures, fluid will flow from high pressure side to low pressure side. Check whether increasing pressure
at low pressure side due to tube rupture possible exceeds the corrected test pressure or not. If YES, the tube

Search My friend, do you know, why API STD 521 use term corrected test pressure to evaluate the possibility of
overpressure due to tube rupture? hydrotest pressure is conducted at ambient temperature, therefore the correction
is required because tube rupture is not occurred at ambient temperature.

About Me
The corrected test pressure can be calculated with this following formula.

Depressuring (2) Allowance stress at ambient temperature > allowance stress at elevated temperature, therefore from above formula,
Diary (1) corrected hydrotest pressure > uncorrected hydrotest pressure. In other word, we can use uncorrected hydrotest
pressure for checking whether tube rupture is applicable to be considered or not. This understanding is very useful,
