The strength of tube-to-tubesheet joints is influenced by many factors such as method of attachment, details of construction, and material property. In this report three methods of attachment are investigated. They are uniform expansion, mechanical rolling, and welding. Details of construction studied in this report are: the finish of tubesheet hole surface; grooved versus ungrooved tubesheets; and groove geometry. The effect of material property on the joint strength was investigated for carbon steel and titanium tubes attached to carbon steel tubesheet. The results indicate that a theoretical prediction of the behavior of joints is feasible for various materials, methods of attachment, and details of construction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
