Nozzle Loading

[mahgoub1]

Hello guys,
I'm new at this so please bear with me. Are there any analytical expersions for calculating loads at flanges (nozzles) welded at the ends of pipes?

Thanks arto,
I think I found what I am looking for at Nayyar's Piping Handbook. It has a section that deals with piping stress analyses. Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out

Hi arto (Mechanical) and Team Member

Mr. arto (Mechanical), "Thank you"! I did get the articles this past week.

Good information for Piping Stress Analysis and Pressure Vessel Analysis.

Again, Mr. arto, Sir. Thank you.
