The WRC 297

The WRC 297 bulletin was published in 1984 and attempts to extend the existing analysis of WRC 107 for cylinder to cylinder intersections. In many cases the d/D ratio is beyond the limit of WRC 107 and the limit of WRC 297 extends this ratio from 0.3 to 0.5. Another important difference is that WRC 297 computes the stresses in the nozzle wall where the WRC 107 analysis does not. This module provides inputs for all of the information required to perform this analysis. Please note that this method does not perform stress analysis of nozzles on spheres as WRC 107 does, nor does it address square or rectangular attachments. The Vertical and Horizontal Vessel problems can now be accessed at www.COADE.com.
