Allowable Nozzle Loads for Vessels

For carbon steel nozzles, the allowable loading is determined by multiplying the nominal diameter (D) by constants that depend on the direction of the force or moment and the flange rating. For stainless steel nozzles, the same formula is used but with a lower constant for the out-of-plane bending moment. The multiplier K depends on the flange rating, with a higher value allowed for lower rated flanges.

Allowable Nozzle Loading

For Carbon Steel: Force FA = K x 675 x D , FL = K x 1000 x D & F = K x 1000 x D Moment MT = K x 125 x D2 Nm , ML = K x 100 x D2 , & M = K x 75 x D2 where, K = 1 for Flange rating 150-300# and K = 1.25 for Flange rating > 600# B. For Stainless Steel: Force FA = K x 675 x D , FL = K x 1000 x D & F = K x 1000 x D Moment MT = K x 125 x D2 , ML = K x 100 x D2 & M = K x 50 x D2 , where, K= 1 D = Nominal nozzle size (inch), F = Force component (N) and M = Moment component (Nm)
