Calculations For Api 650 Nozzle Loads: Description Units Notations Value

This document contains calculations for API 650 nozzle loads. It lists various parameters needed for the calculations such as the outside radius of the nozzle, design temperature, modulus of elasticity, pressures and loads applied, stiffness coefficients, geometric dimensions, and other variables. The goal is to determine values such as the radial deflection at the opening connection and rotations of the shell resulting from various loads and moments applied to the nozzle.
