This paper describes the confirmation of countermeasure's effect for flow-induced vibration in a shell & tube type heat exchanger. This type heat exchanger has often used in the LPG gas carrier ship and has sometimes caused a fretting and finally comes to a fatigue failure. In this paper, the clip is adopted as the countermeasure and it is clarified that the clip can suppress the tube vibration drastically. In this experiment, another countermeasure, that is to say, the dummy tube array is also examined. However the fluid elastic instability occurs by use of dummy tube array. The reason is described in detail.
