Foreword
This document (EN 13445-3:2002/A17:2007) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 54
“Unfired pressure vessels”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This Amendment to the European Standard EN 13445-3:2002 shall be given the status of a national standard,
either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2008, and conflicting national
standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2008.
The document includes the text of the amendment itself. The corrected pages of EN 13445-3 will be delivered
as issue 29 of the standard.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

Annex J
(normative)
Alternative method for the design of heat exchanger tube sheets
J.3 Specific symbols and abbreviations
Change the following symbols in Annex J.3.3:
J.3.3 Symbols
Add the following symbols:
A is the minimum area of the tubed region, [mm ], see J.5.1.1.3.2;
R()min
d is the average of d and d , [mm], see J.5.1.1.4;
1()av 1()min 1()max
d is the maximum value of d , [mm], see J.5.1.1.2;
1()max 1
d is the minimum value of d , [mm], see J.5.1.1.3;
1()min 1
j is an integer to identify any trapezoidal area (tubed or untubed);
k  is an integer to identify an untubed (pass partition) zone;
N is the number of potential extra tubes in a given untubed trapezoidal area, [1], see J.5.1.1.3.2;
I()k
N is the number of potential extra tubes in a given row, [1], see J.5.1.1.3.2;
I()r
p  is the tube pitch in relation to the height of the trapezoidal area, [mm];
b
p  is the tube pitch in relation to the width of the trapezoidal area, [mm];
c
r  is an integer to identify a tube row;
∆d is the actual difference between d and d , [mm];
()act 1()max 1()min
∆d is the allowable difference between d and d , [mm];
()all 1()max 1()min
Replace the following symbols:
N is the total minimum number of potential extra tubes for the whole tubed area, [1], see
I()min
J.5.1.1.3.2;
r is the radius of the outermost tube hole centre [mm]; see Figure J-7(a) and NOTE in J.5.1.1.2
o
(also Figure 13.7-1);
Delete the following symbol:
θ   is a factor dependant on the tube pitch [1]; see J.5.1.
J.5 Parameters for all types
J.5.1 Diameters and widths
Replace 5.1.1 with the following text:
J.5.1.1 Outside diameter d of tubed region
J.5.1.1.1 General
The procedure for calculating d is given below.
NOTE Upper and lower limits for d can be established by considering the space within the tubed area which is
available for additional tubes. d is calculated from the limits.
J.5.1.1.2 Maximum diameter d
1()max
Determine d as follows:
1()max
d = 2r + d    (J.5.1-1)
1()max o T
NOTE If an isolated tube or small group of tubes lies outside the main tubed region (by a distance of more than one
pitch) it should be ignored when determining r and d .

J.5.1.1.3.1 Defining trapezoidal areas
Draw the tangent lines to the outside tubes to enclose the tubed region within a polygon. The positions of the
tie rods shall be ignored.
NOTE 1 An example is shown in Figures J-7(c) and J-7(d).
NOTE 2 For simplicity, where two tangent lines have nearly equal slopes, they can be replaced by a single tangent line
if this line lies outside the centres of any tubes it crosses (i.e. it cuts less than half tube sections). (See area of height b in
Figure J-7(b).)
Divide the tubed region into (perforated or un-perforated) trapezoidal areas by drawing straight lines parallel to
the
