vr ats TH, where d = outside diameter of nozzle, D = mean diameter of vessel, ‘T = thickness of vessel shell, t = thickness of nozzle neck. In the stress resultant plots of WRC Bulletin 107 the abscissa is 8, whereas in this Bulletin the abscissa is }. WRC Bulletin 107 results in terms of A, 8, and can be rewritten as follows: 0875 d 8 then ‘The above expression for \ con: curves in WRC Bulletin 107 for different y values into single curves. This was first demonstrated by J. L. Mershon. ‘The ordinates (stress resultants) read from the WRC Bulletin 107 plots also need adjustments to correspond to the stress resultant definitions in this Bulletin. For nondimensional bending stress resultants due to external moments, the expressions are WRC Bulletin 107: M/(M/RpB), this Bulletin: MM, where ‘Mj * external longitudinal (M.) or circumferential (M.) moment, M; = longitudinal (M,) or transverse (Mg) moment per unit length of shell wall, M, = radial (M,) oF circumferential with respect to nozzle (M,) moment per unit length of shell wall. See above for definitions of other terms. ‘The WRC Bulletin 107 stress resultant, MJ(M/Rn), can be written as M,0.87520)/M, To convert to this Bulletin’s expression for stress re- sultant, which contains the nozzle outside diameter d, it ia necessary to multiply the WRC Bulletin 107 stress resultant by 2 and divide it by 0.875. Thus, the required Streses adjustment factor in this case is 16/7. For nondimensional membrane stress resultants due to evternal moments, the expressions are WRC Bulletin 107: Ny(Mi/Rn?8), this Bulletin: MTaMi, where N) = longitudinal (N,) or transverse (N,) thrust per unit length of shell wall, Ny = radial (N,) or circumferential with respect to nozzle (Ns) thrust per unit length of shell wall, ‘See above for definitions of other terms. ‘The required adjustment factor in this case is 16/77. For nondimensional bending stress resultants due to external radial loads, no adjustment is necessary as their expressions are identical in WRC Bulletin 107 and this Bulletin. For nondimensional membrane stress resul- tants due to external radial loads, the expressions are: WRC Bulletin 107: Ny(PRn), this Bulletin: NTP, where P = external radial load. See above for definitions of other terms. ‘The required adjustment factor in this case is 1/,. ‘The curves in WRC Bulletin 107 are valid only up to ‘ay value of 300; therefore, this Bulletin’s curves (with a D/T ratio above 600) should not be compared to them. ‘This limitation does not apply to curves in Figs. C-1- C-12 with a T/t ratio of zero because these curves rep- resent rigid plugs as explained in Section 3.2 of this bulletin. For nozzle configurations with discrete T/t values, the minimum A below which this bulletin’s curves should not be compared to WRC Bulletin 107 curves can be determined as follows: d/D = A(T /t)/(d/t). Rearranging the above expression gives (an) (VDPTVT/t) where D/T = 2y, Asan example, consider Fig. C-5 for the curve with T/t = and d/t = 10, in Cylindrical Shells 5
