Several nozzles made from SA-350 LF-2 are installed in the vessel. These nozzles have been impact tested and are good down to -50°F. The vessel operates at 200psi at 400°F. The MDMT established by the client is -40°F. The allowable stress value of the shell is 17,500psi and an efficiency of 1 was used in the calculations. The inside radius of the shell is 48°.
