TEMA (1999) Standards of the Tubular Heat Exchanger Manufactures Association, 8th edn (Tubular Heat Exchanger Manufactures Association, New York). 

Design and Application Brazed plate heat exchangers have two design standards that are available. One is ALPEMA, the Brazed Aluminum Plate-Fin Heat Exchanger Manufacturers Association, and the other is the API 662 document for plate heat exchangers.

TEMA Numbering and Type Designation Recommended practice for the designation of TEMA-style shell-and-tube heat exchangers by numbers and letters has been established by the Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association (TEMA). This information from the sixth edition of the TEMA Standards is reproduced in the following paragraphs.
