Tank Nozzle allowable as per API 650

Nozzle Data Input in Caesar II


Calculation done by Caesar II

How CAESAR II calculates Radial Force AXIS Limit, Longitudinal Moment AXIS
Limit, and Circumferential Moment AXIS Limit?

Is the AXIS Limit is calculated by the following method?

From Figure P-3A Construction of Nomograms

(/ 2YF) (FR /FP)= (/aYL) (ML /FP) = 0.1 or [1.0 0.75 X A / (R t) 0.5], whichever is greater

(/ 2YF) (FR /FP)= (/aYL) (ML /FP) =0.1 or [1.0 0.75 X B / (R t) 0.5], whichever is greater

From Figure P-3B Construction of Nomograms

(/ 2YF) (FR /FP) = (/aYC ) (MC /FP) = 0.1 or [1.0 0.75 X C / (R t ) 0.5 ], whichever is greater

How do we check weather the nozzles loads are within allowable limit or not?
