DEFINITIONS

The design of each compressor body must allow for limited piping loads on the various
casing nozzles. For maximum system reliability, nozzle loads imposed by piping should be
as low as possible regardless of the compressors machines load carrying capability. As a
standard, for cast axially split centrifugal compressors and higher pressure, over 50 psig inlet
pressure, overhung single stage compressors the
