Calculation of heater-tube thickness in petroleum refineries

This standard provides a methodology for calculating the wall thickness of furnace tubes in oil refining plants. It outlines the necessary parameters and procedures to ensure the structural integrity and operational safety of the furnace tubes. The document specifies the conditions under which the calculations should be performed, including the consideration of operational temperatures and pressures. It also includes guidelines for material selection and the application of relevant engineering principles. The standard aims to establish a uniform approach for the design and maintenance of heating systems within the industry. The information contained within is intended for use by engineers and technical personnel involved in the planning, installation, and maintenance of such equipment.
