Nozzle Wall Thinning Evaluation
Dealing with wall thinning due to FAC (flow accelerated corrosion)on FW Heaters. Do not have Tmeasured yet. As it now stands,the nozzle neck will have to at least be .875*Tnom which will definitely keep the neck stronger than the connecting pipe. Seems to conservatve. Curious if other places...- jrley

Nozzle Wall Thinning Evaluation
Are there any thoughts about using ASME UG-45 (along with UG-27, -28, -37, -40) in the evaluation of a tmin for nozzle neck thickness? Or should UG-45 be left for the design and fabrication of a new vessel? Thanks jrley- jrley
