A support device for supporting a plurality of elongated members. The
support device having a longitudinally extensive strip having a plurality
of sets of transverse corrugations located at successive longitudinal
locations along the strip. Each set of transverse corrugations forming a
plurality of elongated member engaging zones extending laterally outwards
from both faces of the strip to engage the elongated members in the tube
bundle on opposite sides of a tube lane. The support device is useful to
support elongated members in a bundle and to mitigate the possibility of
damage from flow-induced vibration in elongated members.
