Annular area - i.e.

( pi/4)*( convolution OD sqaure- Convolution ID square)

This indicates no material where nozzle is connected to shell Bellow

This surface will face force=

(pi/4)*(pipe id square)*pressure
This will get transmitted to
saddle and to anchors at
saddle
Saddle
This joint will face force= annular area * pressure
( that is the nozzle load)
This force is low as compared to CAESARII calculated
force which is based on , thrust force=
(pi/4)*(convolution OD square) * pressure
i.e. (pi/4)*effective id square*pressure
