What is meant by "4 x NEMA"?
(OP)
I have heard folks refer to something called "NEMA" when referring to nozzle loading due to wind or seismic events. What is this "NEMA" value that is referred to in "X" multiples? Thanks.

If the former, it means that the manufacturer will accept 4 x the standard NEMA SM23 allowable loads imposed on his / her machine's nozzles.

They can be googled and the standards can be bought

How that would have anything to do with flange loads, I have not a clue.

From the OP:
"I have heard folks refer to something called "NEMA" when referring to nozzle loading due to wind or seismic events."
That is what led me to believe it might have something to do with nozzle loads.
