Nozzle loads for vertical pressure vessel
Nozzle loads for vertical pressure vessel
(OP)
Hi everyone,
I have calculated nozzle loads (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz) for a vertical vessel with nozzle in a top of the vessel. I have obtained calculations from a vessel manufacturer with "Loads to be carried by welds, per UG-41 (b)(1) and Figure UG-41.1sketch (a)". I understand these are shear loads welds W, W1-1, W2-2, W3-3 can withstand.
How I can calculate what shear loads my nozzle loads will result? I need this to see if my nozzle loads are acceptable or not.
Thank you,
Curtis

RE: Nozzle loads for vertical pressure vessel
If you truly have your three forces and three moments, resultant shear loads on the welds could presumably be found thru a mechanics of materials approach, but it ain't the whole story.
