Dear Member!!
As you said, ASME code Sec VIII Div 1 it´s applicable to design heat exchangers, but from the point of view as a pressure vessel, that means the capacity of the equipment to contain the work fluid at operating condition of design (pressure, temperature, metal thickness, material and weld efficiency)
By the other hand, you have another factors to consider in the design as: number of tubes, diameter of tubes, longitudes, diameter, material of tubes. As a guide to define this parameters, there is the TEMA (Tubural Exchanger Manufacturers Association, Inc.) standards whose can be very useful.
Please visit http://www.tema.org/index.html to consult about software and codes
