1. Poor sealing would case leakage occurrence which will be a replacement hassle.
2. Limited pressure use, generally not more than 1.5MPa.
3. Limited operating temperature due to temperature resistance of the gasket material.
4. Small flow path, and not suited for gas-to-gas heat exchange or steam condensation.
5. High blockage occurrence especially with suspended solids in fluids.
6. The flow resistance is larger than the shell and tube.
