TEMA

The Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association (also known as TEMA) is an association of fabricators of shell and tube type heat exchangers.[1] TEMA has established and maintains a set of construction standards for heat exchangers, known as the TEMA Standard.[2] TEMA also produces software for evaluation of flow-induced vibration and of flexible shell elements (expansion joints). TEMA was founded in 1939, and is based in Tarrytown, New York.[3] The association meets regularly to revise and update the standards, respond to inquiries, and discuss topics related to the industry.
