Understanding Finish Requirements for Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers

by

When hiking, it is important to understand the terrain before setting out. Scaling the Rocky Mountains is far different than taking a leisurely stroll around the block. And the physical endurance required for each will provide drastically different results. This is just as true in stainless-steel manufacturing and finishing procedures. Metals are not completely flat, […]
