Pump Vendor Nozzle Loads
Pump Vendor Nozzle Loads
(OP)
Hi,
i have a question about satisfying pump vendor nozzle loads. I have calculated loads acting on my pump nozzles and some of the individual load components (force and moment components) are above the ones specified by the pump vendor. The vendor also specified the resultant force and moment for each pump nozzle so my question is if i can use these values and compare them against the resultant forces and moments i have calculated and say that they are ok if they are below the ones that are specified by the vendor.

RE: Pump Vendor Nozzle Loads
I believe that when individuals are higher than allowed, but the resultant isn't, you're good most of the times.
What code/standard is the pump designed to? Most API standard specify allowable nozzle loads, so you could resort to the standard to get a definitive answer.

Do you happen to have some pipe stress calculation [program that can do all checks for you (it can check both individual as well ass resultant loads, and indicates if the relevant standard sch as API 610 is satisfied).

By the way I know that Caesar can do this things for you but on at the moment I'm using Rohr2.
