It's 5–11 mm.
Explanation:
For shell-and-tube heat exchangers made of carbon steel, the minimum shell thickness (including corrosion allowance) is governed mainly by shell diameter, mechanical strength, and fabrication standards (e.g., TEMA/ASME).
In practice, this thickness typically falls in the range of 5 to 11 mm, increasing with shell diameter.
