WHAT IS THE LIMITATION OF WRC 297,WHEN TO USE WRC 297 FOR NOZZLE LOAD CALCULATION

First off, I understand there is a new WRC document that replaces WRC 297.

That being the case, the foreword of WRC 297 discusses the design assumptions and the limitations of the design. There are limitations on the thickness ranges, nozzle sizes relative to the vessel, etc. Actually working with a paper copy of WRC 297 is very cumbersome, as it requires reading numerous values off charts, interpolating and interpolating those values, etc., and is rather slow and tedious.

READ YOUR COPY OF WRC 297. IT WILL TELL YOU

Also, operation of the "Caps Lock" key is something you should become familiar with
