Can you advice me few design consideration for this. The maximum nozzle size is 4", Location shell bottom course.
RE: API 653 & API650
Nozzle size is 2" only on the shell side, I checked in the APi 653, i dint find the special consideration for this 2" nozzle. As per API 653 9.8.6 Insert plate shall be considered when the penetration larger than 2in NPS, Where as as per my case the nozzle size is only 2inch, So i think the insert plate & RF pad not required.
So please advise me any design consideration of requirement for install new 2" nozzle on the shell side.
Thanks in Advance
