NOZZLE LOADS FOR FLANGE DESIGN

FDH JV
PROJECT #2244
FOR NOZZLE BPD (6 NPS) Class 150
Design Pressure Pi 105.733 psi
Design Temperature t 455 F
Gasket ID Go 7.1889
Gasket OD Gi 8.2519
Gasket Reaction Diameter = (Go+Gi)/2
G 7.7204 In
G = the average of gasket OD and gasket ID
Radial Load Pr 872 lb
Bending Moment Ml 33192 in-lb
Bending Moment Mc 33192 in-lb

Bending Moment acting on the Flange

Resultant Bending Moment = [(Ml)2+(Mc)2]1/2
Resultant Bending Moment M 46940.6 in-lb
Equivalent pressure due to Bending Moment = (16 x M)/ x G3
Equivalent pressure due to Bending Moment Pm 519.6 psi
35.8 bar(g)

Radial Force acting on the Flange

Equivalent pressure due to radial force = (-4 x M)/ x G2
Equivalent pressure due to radial force Pr = -18.6 psi
= -1.3 bar(g)
Note:- Positive into the flange , oposing internal pressure. The methodology is in accordance with Radial Load
P per WRC - 107
Total Equivalent Pressure Pm + Pr = 501.0 psi
= 34.5 bar(g)
New Design Pressure Pi + Pm + Pr = 41.8 bar(g)

This 'New Design Pressure' will be used as Design Pressure to design Appendix 2 Flange using compress.
