Nozzle Loads
1.0 Introduction to Nozzle Loads
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.
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.
