Heat Exchanger Nozzle Allowable 1

[PhilEduard]

So far I did have Stress Handbook by Helguero though I've not used it for a long time (a lot are not applicable anymore). And there was not a shell and tube type Heat Exchanger included but an air cooled type even then that current Caesar II module includes only the air cooled type. For a 24" to 30" suction and discharge pipe sizes have anyone got any idea on moment allowables (somewhere in the range of not more than 4000 ft-lbs of error for moment allowables)? I seemed to have fairly low forces and I don't worry on it. Basically this is just for preliminary estimate and I know eventually (technically) I need a reliable figures from manufacturer. It's just not possible to get it from them early at this time. Your help ad tip is highly appreciated. Thanks more power to all members of this forum.

Phil,

If you want to evaluate the loadings on a S&T HX nozzle just use the Caesar II WRC 107 analysis. It is really just another vessel shell with nozzles on it.
