API 610, VS6 Nozzle Calcs
(OP)
Hello everyone,
I am having a tough time figuring out the correct allowable load factor and/or nozzle calcs to use for my piping analsys off the discharge of a 36" and 42" nozzle. The stress program doesnt allow for vertic shafts and size of the nozzles are larger than 16" which will not work either per API-610 chapter 5. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Richard

Can the pump OEM provide allowables?

Do you have a specific design scenario that cannot meet the specified allowable?

I think the best thing to do is post a detailed sketch and your results on the Piping & Fluid Mechanics thread. This looks like a pipe design issue.
