Nozzle Loads
1.0  Introduction to Nozzle Loads
This post specifies the criteria to be adopted while defining the allowable loads acting
on the Nozzles of the various Mechanical equipments, due to the loads imposed by the
connected piping system. These loads shall be included in the Mechanical design of the
equipments during procurement.

As a minimum, the Piping Stress Engineer shall ensure that the loads on the Nozzle of
the Mechanical Equipments are within these values. In the event the loads are
exceeding the allowable loads values, prior approval from the supplier shall be taken.

It is advisable that, the Fabrication / Procurement of these equipments shall be carried

out after the confirmation of the loads on the Nozzle by both the party (Purchaser and
Supplier). to search type and hit enter

Statement of Compliance

The Equipment Supplier shall check the stresses in the nozzle/equipment resulting
from the allowable loads as specified above, in accordance with WRC bulletin WRC107/
WRC297 /ASME Section VIII Division 2.

The Equipment supplier shall provide a statement of compliance with this specification.

Higher Allowable Loads

This specification gives the maximum allowable loads which the nozzle can withstand
without failure. However, depending on the configuration of the connected Piping
system or due to the various design conditions analyzed, the loads imposed on the
Nozzle may exceed these allowable values.

In such cases, theactual loads shall be communicated to the Supplier. The Supplier shall
check the integrity of the nozzle / equipment. If acceptable, the Supplier shall approve
these loads and incorporate the same in the equipment design. However, if these loads
are not acceptable, the supplier shall submit the calculations /technical explanation
supporting the same.

Any calculations required to be done and any reinforcement required to be provided

on the equipment shall be part of Supplier’s scope of work.

Legends:

FL          –           Longitudinal shear force

FC        –           Circumferential shear force

FA        –           Axial tension or compression force

ML       –           Longitudinal bending moment

MC      –           Circumferential bending moment

MT       –           Torsional moment

F          –           Resultant Shear Force

M        –           Resultant Bending Moment

Notes:

1. The above loads are applicable for following equipment:

Shell & tube and Plate type heat exchangers

Pressure vessels
Columns

1. Each nozzle shall be capable of withstanding the above forces and moments under
the design conditions and are considered to be acting simultaneously at the
intersection of nozzle axis with outer surface of the shell or head plates, in corroded
condition.
2. All forces and moments in the above tables are positive and sign rotation is as per
WRC bulletin 107. The most stringent case caused by axial load FA acting inward or
outward shall be considered.
3. For dished ends, the resultant shear force and bending moment are calculated as:

F = SQRT {(FL) 2 + (FC)2}

M = SQRT {(ML) 2 + (MC)2}

1. The loads stated above shall be used as the design basis for nozzles. When loadings
in excess of above listed standard allowable nozzle loadings are required, the
supplier will be informed. When the information becomes available the supplier
shall check and incorporate these loads in the equipment design.

Wherever necessary, the nozzle/ vessel shall be reinforced. In case the Supplier finds
that the higher loads cannot be incorporated, he shall submit calculations/technical
explanation to justify the same, indicating the maximum load that can be incorporated.
Notes:

1. Each nozzle shall be capable of withstanding the above forces and moments under
the design conditions in the worst-case combination of direction of forces &
moments and internal pressure, and are considered to be acting simultaneously at
the intersection of nozzle axis with outer surface of the shell or roof plates, in
corroded condition. Supplier to provide all the necessary calculation to demonstrate
the compliance to above, in accordance with API 650 Appendix P / BS 2654 or
required FE calculation if any standard method can’t be applied.
2. Vendor to provide necessary reinforcement to comply with above standard
allowable nozzle loadings requirement.
3. Tabulated loadings also apply to roof nozzles, except that the radial load becomes
vertical load, and the allowable resultant shear force and bending moment should
be as follows, rather than individual allowable shear force and bending moment
components:

F = SQRT {(FV) 2 + (FH) 2}

M = SQRT {(ML) 2 + (MC) 2}

1. The loads stated above shall be used as the design basis for nozzles. When loadings
in excess of above listed standard allowable nozzle loadings are required, the
supplier will be informed when the information becomes available.

The supplier shall check and incorporate these loads in the equipment design.

Wherever necessary, the nozzle/tank shall be reinforced. In case the Supplier finds that
the higher loads cannot be incorporated, he shall submit calculations/technical
explanation to justify the same, indicating the maximum load that can be incorporated.
