ASME B31.3 contains requirements for piping typically found in petroleum refineries; chemical,
pharmaceutical, textile, paper, semiconductor, and cryogenic plants; and related processing plants
and terminals. It covers materials and components, design, fabrication, assembly, erection,
examination, inspection, and testing of piping.
This procedure is intended for use in evaluating loads acting on the nozzles of the equipment
indicated below, in order
Loads used herein refer to the forces and moments originating from dead weight, internal pressure
and thermal
expansion and contraction, but do not include loads due to earthquake, wind, etc..

2.1 Application
(1) This design practice shall apply on condition that the following requirements are satisfied:
(b) Nozzles are installed rectangularly with respect to cylindrical shells or heads.
(d) Allowable stress of material is with those stresses within the specified rupture, creep and
temperature limits.
Hence, nozzle sizes to which Rosschiem-Markl’s Formula shall apply should be 24in. or
smaller.
(2) Allowability or otherwise of those loads acting on equipment nozzles which are outside the
application standards
indicated in (1) above shall be evaluated in principle by JGC’s Process Equipment Design
Department.
To prepare nozzle load data to be submitted to JGC’s Equipment Design Section, “Procedure for
Preparing
Information for Forces and Moments Acting on Equipment Nozzle” (JPEP-0-1360-G-4731 ) shall
apply.
The technical computing library for piping is also available for nozzle load evaluation using a personal
computer.
The VSL NLES Ver2G file (Table 3) shall be used when the longitudinal axis of the nozzle is in
alignment with
any of the axes of the global coordinate system for piping stress analysis, and the VSL NLES ROT
Ver2D file
(Table 4) shall be used when it is not so. For details, refer to JPEP-0-1360-G-5303 “Instructions for
