This electronic document is a “live” template. The various components of your paper [title, text, heads, etc.]
are already defined on the style sheet, as illustrated by the portions given in this document. The paper focuses on the
study of Heat Exchangers during welding of nozzle on the shell CARRIED out in the industry. In Heat Exchangers
during welding of nozzle on the shell the number of temporary attachments required are many in the process and a lot of
time is consumed to set-up all the temporary attachments for the nozzle set-up on the shell. As a counter measure, a
fixture is proposed herewith to overcome this problem faced by the industrial practices. This proposed fixture will
support the nozzle with rigidity during the welding of the nozzle on the shell in the industries fabricating heat exchanger
or similar equipment. The fixture will resist the distortion of the shape & size and allow to carry out the entire welding
procedure of nozzle welding on the shell of the heat exchanger in one go thereby reducing cycle time.
