28/10/2557 10 points to keep in mind while using project specific pressure vessel nozzle load tables | What is Piping
a) Compare loads mentioned on the tables above with local element forces in CAESAR II output. On that case local X
force will be radial force, compare other directions to get proper forces.
b) Otherwise rotate the CAESAR II input model to match the nozzle axis with any global Caesar II axis and compare
the loads and moments.
5. For Head nozzles (nozzle axis and equipment axis same direction) compare Mx and Mz as per √[{(Mx)2+
(Mz)2}] ≤ √[{(ML)2+(MC)2}]
6. In case of any vessels in packaged area , these values shall not be applicable and nozzle loading shall be
coordinated with vendor .
7. In case of any licensor / proprietary item , these values shall not be applicable and nozzle loading shall be
confirmed by them.
8. Allowable for self reinforced nozzle shall be more than as mentioned in above table . In that case allowable shall
be exercised from vendor.
9. For jacketed nozzles loads are to be confirmed from vendor.
10. This tables are not applicable for checking loads at flange faces.
