III. Calculation of Nozzle Neck Thickness per UG-45

(a) The minimum wall thickness of a nozzle neck or other connection ( including access openings
and openings for inspection) shall not be less than the thickness computed from the applicable
loadings in UG-22 plus the thickness added for corrosion allowance on the connection.

Symbols :
Ro = outer radius of nozzle = - in (depend on nozzle size )
Pi = internal design pressure = 75,42 psig
hn = height of nozzle from top of vessel = - in (depend on position )
r = density of content = 0,036 lb/in3
Ps = static head = r . hn = - psi
P = total design pressure = Pi + Ps = - psig

t1 = P*Ro / ( Sn*E + 0.4*P ) + CA

(b) Additionally, the minimum thickness of a nozzle neck other connection (except for access
openings and openings for inspection only) shall not be less than the smallest of the following :

(b)(1) for vessels under internal pressure only, the thickness (plus corrosion allowance) required
for pressure (assuming E = 1.0) for the shell or head at the location where the nozzle neck or
other connection attaches to the vessel but in no case less than the minimum thickness specified
for the material in UG-16(b) (the minimum thickness of shells and heads used in compressed
air service, steam service, and water service, made from materials listed in Table UCS-23
shall be 3/32 in. (2.4 mm) exclusive of any corrosion allowance)
t2 = P*Ri / ( Sv*E - 0.6*P ) + CA nozzle at shell
And not less then: 3/32 in + CA = 0,212 in (UG-16(b)(4))

t2 = P*D*K / ( 2*Sv*E - 0.2*P ) + CA + fa nozzle at head

And not less then: 3/32 in + CA = 0,212 in (UG-16(b)(4))

(b)(2) for vessels under external pressure only, the thickness (plus corrosion allowance) obtained
by using the external design pressure as an equivalent internal design pressure (assuming
E = 1.0) in the formula for the shell or head at the location where the nozzle neck or other
connection attaches to the vessel but in no case less than the minimum thickness specified
for the material in UG-16(b)
t3 = text + CA P=external design pressure for nozzle at shell
t3 = text + CA + fa P=external design pressure for nozzle at head

(b)(3) for vessels designed for both internal and external pressure, the greater of the thicknesses
determined by (b)(1) or (b)(2) above
t4 = the greater of t2 or t3

(b)(4) the minimum thickness of standard wall pipe plus the thickness added for corrosion allowance
on the connection, for nozzles larger than the largest pipe size included in ANSI/ASME B36.10M,
the wall thickness of that largest size plus the thickness added for corrosion allowance in the
connection

The minimum thickness for all material is that wall thickness listed in Table 2 of ANSI/ASME B36.10M,
less 12½ %

t5 = tstd*87,5% + CA

For observation : t6 = the smaller value between t4 or t5

t7 = the greater value between t1 or t6
Actual value correction : tact = 87,5% x tn
Required : tact > t7
