Integrally Reinforced Nozzles in Pressure Vessel

10/11/2012 3:17 AM

Dear Members,
What is the actual meaning of integrally reinforced nozzle.?

Is it only refers to forged type/hub type nozzle?

Kindly correct me in the following understanding:

"The term "reinforcement' comes (in nozzle necks) when the standard available pipe thickness is not adequate for required area replacement. Hence we increase the area by providing additional thickness by making integral hub/forged sections"


For eg.

A 24" nozzle with schedule 160 pipe as nozzle neck (59.5mm thickness) and

A 24" nozzle with 45mm hub thickness and 17.44 mm neck thickness.

Can we consider both nozzles as integrally reinforced in their own way. Apart from material and manufacturing processed etc.


Thanking you all in advance

I don't want to decorate this comment by additional OT, as already 3 are given by others.

Why to spoon feed the OP. As per general rule of CR4, OP has to make enough search (including CR4) before posting any question. Here, there are two possibilities:

1. OP would would have already made search and still his doubt not cleared and he expect something different from the experienced folk of CR4.

2. OP has not made any search and simply want others to do his job. Such practice should be outrightly discouraged.

Self appointed ADMIN, never suppress your impulse/desire. It is not good for one's health. I won't mind more OT. At the end of the day, does it REALLY matter to me?
