steel as material of construction.

For equipments made of other material, the supplier shall provide an appropriate set

The allowable loads for the Cylindrical Storage Tanks shall be in accordance with
Appendix-2.

The Equipment Supplier shall check the stresses in the nozzle/equipment resulting
Piping-engineering
from the allowable loads as speci ed above, in accordance with WRC bulletin WRC107/ 11,987 likes

This speci cation gives the maximum allowable loads which the nozzle can withstand
without failure. However, depending on the con guration of the connected Piping
system or due to the various design conditions analyzed, the loads imposed on the Or reach me on aj@piping-
Nozzle may exceed these allowable values.

In such cases, theactual loads shall be communicated to the Supplier. The Supplier shall
check the integrity of the nozzle / equipment. If acceptable, the Supplier shall approve
these loads and incorporate the same in the equipment design. However, if these loads Google+
are not acceptable, the supplier shall submit the calculations /technical explanation
supporting the same.

Any calculations required to be done and any reinforcement required to be provided

on the equipment shall be part of Suppliers scope of work.

Notes:

1. The above loads are applicable for following equipment:

Shell & tube and Plate type heat exchangers

Pressure vessels
Columns

1. Each nozzle shall be capable of withstanding the above forces and moments under
the design conditions and are considered to be acting simultaneously at the
intersection of nozzle axis with outer surface of the shell or head plates, in corroded
condition.
2. All forces and moments in the above tables are positive and sign rotation is as per
WRC bulletin 107. The most stringent case caused by axial load FA acting inward or
outward shall be considered.
3. For dished ends, the resultant shear force and bending moment are calculated as:

F = SQRT {(FL) 2 + (FC)2}

M = SQRT {(ML) 2 + (MC)2}

1. The loads stated above shall be used as the design basis for nozzles. When loadings
in excess of above listed standard allowable nozzle loadings are required, the
supplier will be informed. When the information becomes available the supplier
shall check and incorporate these loads in the equipment design.

10/18/2017 Nozzle Loads - Part 1 - | Piping-engineering

Wherever necessary, the nozzle/ vessel shall be reinforced. In case the Supplier nds
that the higher loads cannot be incorporated, he shall submit calculations/technical
explanation to justify the same, indicating the maximum load that can be incorporated.

Notes:

1. Each nozzle shall be capable of withstanding the above forces and moments under
the design conditions in the worst-case combination of direction of forces &
moments and internal pressure, and are considered to be acting simultaneously at
the intersection of nozzle axis with outer surface of the shell or roof plates, in
corroded condition. Supplier to provide all the necessary calculation to demonstrate
the compliance to above, in accordance with API 650 Appendix P / BS 2654 or
required FE calculation if any standard method cant be applied.
2. Vendor to provide necessary reinforcement to comply with above standard
allowable nozzle loadings requirement.
3. Tabulated loadings also apply to roof nozzles, except that the radial load becomes
vertical load, and the allowable resultant shear force and bending moment should
be as follows, rather than individual allowable shear force and bending moment
components:

F = SQRT {(FV) 2 + (FH) 2}

M = SQRT {(ML) 2 + (MC) 2}

1. The loads stated above shall be used as the design basis for nozzles. When loadings
in excess of above listed standard allowable nozzle loadings are required, the
supplier will be informed when the information becomes available.

The supplier shall check and incorporate these loads in the equipment design.

Wherever necessary, the nozzle/tank shall be reinforced. In case the Supplier nds that
the higher loads cannot be incorporated, he shall submit calculations/technical
explanation to justify the same, indicating the maximum load that can be incorporated.
