Heat Exchange Institute Releases 5th Edition of Standards for Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers

November 15, 2013—CLEVELAND—The Heat Exchange Institute (HEI) is pleased to announce the release of the 5th edition of Standards for Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers. The 4th edition of the standard was released in 2004 and reaffirmed in 2008 as Standards for Power Plant Heat Exchangers. However, with the addition of the HEI Plate Heat Exchanger Section in 2011, the HEI changed the title Standards for Power Plant Heat Exchangers to Standards for Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers. The 5th edition of this standard has been revised and updated using new information based on the working knowledge and experience of the HEI Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Section. To purchase a copy of the 5th edition, please visit the HEI website at www.heatexchange.org.
