Nozzle loads convention
Nozzle loads convention
(OP)
Is there an unique orientation convention for representing the direction of loads on nozzle in pressure vessels?
In my career I've been bumping in many drawings with different representation of nozzle loads chart (Arrow of the forces directed in opposite direction, even if the code/procedure applied is the same -ex. WRC 107). Or does it depend only on the calculation software (like SANTAMBROGIO uses a convention, PVELITE another one, etc...). Tnks.

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand

It's even worse wheh the Piping - Mechanical - Civil/Structural group all use different "global" axes on a Project which is quite often the case instead of everyone deciding on the axes convention at the start of a Project. Causes no-end of fun!!!!

I disagree since in fig G.2.2-2 it shows for a radial load the load as being into the cylinder as being positive yet in Fig G.2.3-4 the radial force FR is shown positive outward from the cylinder. Very clear indeed!!!!
