3 Terms and Definitions
Terms and definitions established in GB 150 and the following apply to this document.
3.1 Working Pressure
The maximum pressure at the top of the spiral plate heat exchanger under normal operating conditions.
3.2 Design Pressure
The set maximum pressure at the top of the spiral plate heat exchanger, used as a basic design load condition with the corresponding design temperature, and not less than the working pressure.
3.3 Calculation Pressure
The pressure used to determine component thickness under the corresponding design conditions, including additional loads such as static fluid pressure.
3.4 Test Pressure
The pressure at the top of the spiral plate heat exchanger during hydraulic or leak tests.
3.5 Metal Temperature
The average temperature across the metal section of the spiral plate heat exchanger component.
3.6 Design temperature
The metal temperature of the components of a spiral plate heat exchanger under normal operating conditions. The design temperature and design pressure together serve as the design load conditions.
3.7 Test temperature
The metal temperature of the shell components of a spiral plate heat exchanger during pressure testing or leak testing.
3.8 Calculated thickness
The thickness obtained from the corresponding formulas in this document or GB 150, JB/T 4745. If necessary, other loads (see 4.3.2) shall also be considered. For components under external pressure, it is the minimum thickness required to meet stability requirements; for sealing components, it is the thickness required to meet stiffness (deformation) requirements.
3.9 Design thickness
