Abstract
Current pressure vessel design codes do not provide for evaluation of nozzle loads on flat bolted covers. In practice, centrally placed nozzles on flat bolted covers are particularly common. Such nozzles to which piping is connected must be assessed for unacceptable piping reactions. This article provides for evaluating the nozzle loads, taking into account the internal pressure together with the external loads acting on the nozzle. The influence of the nozzle load on the flat cover with mating flange is considered. The approximate methodology described uses available formulas for flat plate structures from recognized sources.
