Nozzle Diameter Limits per ASME UG-42

The document asks a question about nozzle openings with multiple diameters. It describes a configuration with three nozzles - A, B, and C - of equal diameter connected to a reinforcement limit. While nozzles A and B diameters were reduced to account for overlap with C, the question is whether nozzle C's diameter also needs reduction for its overlap with A and B, or if it can maintain its full diameter. It also asks if the same rules apply under ASME Section VIII Division 2.

QUESTION FOR NOZZLE MULTIPLE OPENINGS:

Note the following configuration as shown in figure below.


As mentioned in ASME SEC VIII DIV -1 UG-42(a)(1) & FIG. UG-42 (B). the overlapping
area is required to be proportioned between the openings by the ratio of their diameters.

In this case, since the nozzle A,B & C are having equal diameters, their dia. limits are
also equal (=3000mm). When we reduce the dia. limit for nozzles A & B considering the
proportions, the overlap with nozzle C is cleared (there is 61.86 mm clearance).

Question is - do we still need to reduce the dia. limit for nozzle C considering 88.14 mm
overlap or can we use 3000mm without reduction?
- What about the same case for ASME Sec viii div 2?
