Nozzle Loads
The longitudinal and tangential stresses induced by the nozzles and due
to internal pressure and external loads are addressed with respect to their
applicable loads. A number of different methods are employed here depending
on the size and location of the nozzle. Nozzles located on the cylinder wall
are treated differently than the nozzles located on a head.
 | Supporting Structure
The longitudinal and tangential stresses induced by attachments and due
to internal pressure and external loads are addressed with respect to their
applicable loads. Attachment and other supports are treated similarly to
nozzles and a number of different methods are employed here depending on the
size and location of the attachment.
| Fatigue Loading
A fatigue analysis of a vessel is sometimes required by the ASME Code.
The criteria for fatigue analysis is addressed in Section VIII Division 2
for mechanical loads and in Section III for thermal loads.
| External Loads
All external loads with respect to wind and seismic conditions can be
addressed depending on requirements.
