WRC 107 and Hillside Nozzle
(OP)
Does WRC 107 accurately analyze hillside nozzles or can it only be used for radial nozzles?

RE: WRC 107 and Hillside Nozzle
From what I recall, even the WRC 107 is somewhat approximate, or at least it's agreement with FEA is somewhat approximate. If a nozzle was slightly hillsided, I'd just disregard the angle and calculate as if it was straight. With a more severe angle, it'd still be worth checking. If the calculations show the nozzle is very adequate/ overbuilt, or if they shot it as completely inadequate, that would be informative. If they show it as marginal, it wouldn't be as helpful.

And I am certain ASME Sec VIII, Div 1 gives no design rules for nozzle loadings. Don't know about any other codes though.
