Treq provides a worst case required thickness for nozzle analysis for a nozzle located on the long seam or circ seam Check This sheet will not calculate thick walled vessels Not a thick walled vessel, calculations are valid The UG-16(b) minimum thickness requirement has not been taken into consideration here. This sheet cannot be used to check for allowable exterior pressure loads. Use the Weld Efficiency program to calculate El and Ec This sheet is for educational use only - use at your own risk.
