reinforment of nozzle, factor of safty
reinforment of nozzle, factor of safty
(OP)
Hi All,
Lead by my other question to fabricate Tee,
Now I have another question,
Now I am designing as per ASME B31.3
When work out the reinforcement of the nozzle,
required reinforcement area A1, and available reinforcement areas, A2+A3 ( integral reinforced, no pad)
the code only required that A1>A2+A3, but for a factor of safety concern, I am thinking should I use a value, eg ((A2+A3)-A1/A1 greater than 25% or 20% as acceptable criteria?
Could someone please comment on this? Am I being too conservative?
Cheers
