Step 9. The calculated maximum local primary membrane stress should satisfy Equation (4.5.56). If the nozzle is subjected to internal pressure, then the allowable stress, S a l l o w , is given by Equation (4.5.57). If the nozzle is subjected to
external pressure, then the allowable stress is given by Equation (4.5.58) where F h a is evaluated in paragraph 4.4 for the
shell geometry being evaluated (e.g., cylinder, spherical shell, or formed head).
