Nozzle Analysis : BRANCH 4" Item: 1 5:16p Nov 27,2020
Areas per UG-37.1 but with DL = Diameter Limit, DLR = Nozzle Opening size:
Area Available in Shell (A1):
A1 = (DL-DLR)*(ES*(T-CAS)-TR)-2*(THK-CAN)*(ES*(T-CAS)-TR)*(1-FFR1)
A1 = (184.099-92.050)*(.85*(14.2000-3.000)-6.470)-2*(11.125-0.000)
*(.85*(14.2000-3.0000)-6.4700)*(1.0-0.39)
A1 = 2.396 cm^2
MDMT of Nozzle Neck to Pad Weld for the Nozzle, UCS Curve : B

Thickness Ratio = 0.000 , Temperature Reduction per Fig. UCS 66.1 = 78 C
MDMT of Nozzle Neck to Pad Weld for Reinforcement pad, UCS Curve : B

Thickness Ratio = 0.000 , Temperature Reduction per Fig. UCS 66.1 = 78 C
Weld Strength and Weld Loads per UG-41.1, Sketch (a) or (b)
Weld Load [W]:
= (AR-A1+2*(THK-Can)*Ffr1*(E1(T-Cas)-Tr))*S
= (6.8295 - 2.3956 + 2 * ( 11.1252 - 0.0000 ) * 0.3930 *
(.85 * ( 14.2000 - 3.0000 ) - 6.4700 ) ) * 300
= 14379.65 Kgf
= 40425.77 Kgf
