Set on nozzles in ASME VIII
Set on nozzles in ASME VIII
(OP)
Please can anyone tell me if there is a limit to the maximum size of set-on nozzle you are allowed on to a vessel shell?
We need to put a 4" nozzle onto the shell of a heat exchanger and would find a set on preferable to a set through.
I've had a look but cannot find anything defining a limit - however I am not an experienced user of ASME VIII. If you could mention the relevant section it would be a help.
I know that API 650 sets limits on set on nozzles, so I am assuming ASME VIII might also.
Thanks

So the reason I couldn't find a limit is that there isn't one!
It's really helpful to get a quick answer instead of trawling through the standard looking for an answer.

thinking slightly philosophically: if you are looking for something in a standard and don't find it - can you assume it isn't there? Perhaps you just haven't found it yet?
