Maybe with a time machine, by going back and redesigning with a heavier shell and/or nozzle.

If this is a third world application and not for export to the USA, I would use several coats of urethane paint in lieu of a welded steel reinforcement.

Urethane paint is really really strong....

Anyway, those old geezers who wrote those silly codes and standards regarding nozzle area reinforcement probably forgot thier medication that day
