    Nozzle close to edge of spherical portion of torispherical head.

    To use M=1 in calculating tr of head, all reinforcement has to be entirely within the spherical portion of the head. Does that mean that as an example: The centre of a I/D 6in nozzle is located 5in from the edge of the spherial portion of the head, that if the area A1 and A5 is limited to a...

    Openings in torisperical head

    Thanks gr2vessels for your answers. To clarifie my question re. torispherical heads with mts exeeding 70000 psi. The question is: The head is calculated with S eqal to 20000 psi @room temp redused in...... A nozzle and its reinforcement areas are located within the sperical portion of head. Can...
