NOZZLE LOAD

NOZZLE EXTERNAL FORCES AND MOMENTS IN CYLINDRICAL VESSELS

Input Design Data

Din Shell = 47.244 inch Tshell = 0.945 inch
Din Nozzle 24.000 inch t Nozzle = 0.551 inch
Rm = 24.567 inch Sy = 38,000.000 @200F psi
ro Nozzle = 12.551 inch Sa = 20,000.000 psi
P = 150.000 psi

Solve

Determine Resultant Force and Moment

b = 0.875 (ro/Rm) y = (Rm/T)

= 0.875 x {14.472/25.197} = (25.197/0.787)
= 0.447 = 26

Determine a , E and A from Figures 1,2 and 3

a = 250 from Figure 1

Calculate Pressure Stress

= 7,650 psi PASSED

Calculated FRRF, MRCM & MRLM

= 73,269 lb

= 959,508 in-lb

= 1,532,688 in-lb

MAXIMUM FORCE AND MOMENT SUMMARY

Max.Force ---------> 73,269 lb

Max. Moments ---------> 959,508 in-lb

Note:
1. This calculation will be detailed during detail engineering stage.
2. Nozzle load value must be within the given limits as per Samsung's Specification " Equipmenst Nozzle Loads"
for each diameter and schedule of piping.
3. Nozzle loads calculated base on Pressure Vessel Handbook - E. Megyesy 11th Edition
4. Nozzle loads preliminary design calculation related to piping loads shall be check during detail engineering
design as per "Introduction To Pipe Stress Analysis-Sam Kannappan-1986"
st Nozzle Loads"
