the vessel wall be less than NPS 1.5. All connections NPS 2 and smaller shall be provided
with two stiffening gussets located at right angles unless the nozzle is a long weld neck type
construction.
iii) For all nozzles and connections, except man-ways and other openings intended solely for
access or inspection, the vendor shall determine the stresses in the vessel resulting from the
worst combination of any internal pressure up to the maximum operating pressure and the
externally applied forces and moments specified on the data sheet. Where the external nozzle
loads have not been specified, the vendor shall assume the forces and moments in the
