We are designing a pressure vessel that we need to add a nozzle to. The question is what are the requirements that dictate how close a feature (the nozzle) can be with respect to an adjacent welded joint? What part of section VIII would be most applicable in determining this spacing?
This is the scenario:
In the lab we have measure the flow of compressed air across a valve to be 1200 SCFH. The inlet pressure (Pinlet) is 34.7 psia. The outlet pressure was 14.7 psia.
My question is how would one calculate what the flow of steam would be across the same valve, with the same...
