Tubes are available in Copper, 90/10 CuNi, Stainless Steel, Admiralty or Titanium, Tubes are roller expanded. Seal welding and grooving available in some cases. End bonnets are of high quality case iron, Bronze or Stainless Steel in 1, 2 or 4-pass configurations. Fabricated heads are available and are standard on TEMA-C models. Rugged shell available in Steel and Stainless Steel. Minimum clearances between shell and baffles reduce by-pass and maximize heat transfer. Precision punched baffles assure effective circulation by providing minimum clearances between the tubes and tube holes. Baffle cuts and spacing for each diameter are consistent with best practices. Thick Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel or 90/10 CuNi tubesheets are welded to the shell.
