Local loads on shell/nozzle attachment
Local loads on shell/nozzle attachment
(OP)
Hi,
I'm doing a local loads calculation to PD5500 : 2009 on a 3" nozzle/shell attachment.
I need to know how to calculate :
Q = the radial thrust applied at nozzle (in N)
S = the shear load applied at nozzle (in N)
M = the external moment applied at nozzle (in N/mm2)

RE: Local loads on shell/nozzle attachment
the loads are furnished by piping stress engineers and the fabricator does design to meet the loads.
RE: Local loads on shell/nozzle attachment
The loads come from the attached piping/equipment, but for design (when the loads may not be fully defined) people generally have a set of values to use as a basis for the vessel design.
Check out the discussion in thread292-129476: Nozzle Loads. It was a few years ago, but I would say the same things again.
Regards,
John
