This article demonstrates how the method of production of sheets from shaped rolled sheet makes it possible to significantly reduce their metal consumption and cost. The sheets of heat exchange apparatuses are heavy structures compressing a block of plates with the help of tie bolts. There are two designs of sheets, unribbed and ribbed. The pieces for sheets are made by casting, forging, from rolled sheet, or by welding. A comparative strength evaluation is made of clamping sheets for semiprefabricated heat exchangers with a plate surface of 0.5 m/sup 2/. Sheets made by casting and from rolled sheet were calculated. A detailed analysis was made of five sheets of ribbed heat exchangers with a plate surface of 0.6 m/sup 2/ consisting of an unribbed sheet of rolled sheet, a welded sheet with longitudinal and transverse ribbing, a rolled sheet (shaded sheet) with transverse ribbing, and a rolled and welded sheet (shaped sheet) with longitudinal and transverse ribbing. It is determined that the ribbed designs of sheet require less metal than the unribbed.
