BS 1515
BS 1515
(OP)
Hi all,
I need some assistance please. I am doing some mods to a BS 1515 Part 1,1965 designed vessel. I need to know the method used for nozzle reinforcement in BS 1515. PD 5500 has two methods, clause 3.5.4 and also Annex F (area reinforcement rules). If BS 1515 uses arear replacement rules then I can safely apply Appendix F.
Thanks.

RE: BS 1515
You are correct in that BS1515 did use area replacement approach.
RE: BS 1515
The current Annex F is not an Area Replacement technique, it is a Pressure Area technique.
Therefore, if you want to use the same technique employed by BS1515 but cannot get your hands on a copy, you should use ASME VIII UG-37. It's an identical methodology - true area replacement.

thank you for the information.
