Nozzle Loads – Part 1

Nozzle Loads
1.0 Introduction to Nozzle Loads
As a minimum, the Piping Stress Engineer shall ensure that the loads on the Nozzle of the Mechanical
Equipments are within these values. In the event the loads are exceeding the allowable loads values, prior
approval from the supplier shall be taken.
It is advisable that, the Fabrication / Procurement of these equipments shall be carried out after the
confirmation of the loads on the Nozzle by both the party (Purchaser and Supplier).
2.0 Types of Mechanical Equipments

Mechanical Equipments are classified in two types viz. Fabricated Equipments& Proprietary Equipments.
Criteria for defining the allowable loads on the Nozzles of these equipments are given below.
2.1 Fabricated Equipments

Various Mechanical Equipments like Pressure Vessels, Columns, Heat Exchangers (Shell & Tube type and
Plate type), cylindrical storage tanks, etc. are classified under this category.
This post specifies the criteria to be adopted while defining the allowable loads acting on the Nozzles of the
various Mechanical equipments, due to the loads imposed by the connected piping system. These loads
shall be included in the Mechanical design of the equipments during procurement.
Allowable Forces & Moments
The allowable loads for the Fabricated Equipmentsshall be in accordance with Appendix-1. These values are
applicable for equipments, withcarbon steel and stainless steel as material of construction.
For equipments made of other material, the supplier shall provide an appropriate set of calculations for
approval.

The allowable loads for the Cylindrical Storage Tanks shall be in accordance with Appendix-2.
Statement of Compliance
The Equipment Supplier shall check the stresses in the nozzle/equipment resulting from the allowable loads
as specified above, in accordance with WRC bulletin WRC107/ WRC297 /ASME Section VIII Division 2.
The Equipment supplier shall provide a statement of compliance with this specification.
Higher Allowable Loads
This specification gives the maximum allowable loads which the nozzle can withstand without failure.
However, depending on the configuration of the connected Piping system or due to the various design
conditions analyzed, the loads imposed on the 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 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 Supplier’s scope of work.
Allowable nozzle loads
Legends:
FL – Longitudinal shear force
FC – Circumferential shear force
FA – Axial tension or compression force
ML – Longitudinal bending moment
MC – Circumferential bending moment


MT – Torsional moment
F – Resultant Shear Force
M – Resultant Bending Moment
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.
Wherever necessary, the nozzle/ vessel shall be reinforced. In case the Supplier finds 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.
Appendix 3
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 can’t 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 finds 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.
