AutoPIPE Vessel: EXTERNAL NOZZLE LOAD (LOCAL LOAD) CALCULATIONS AS PER CODAP

Hi,

CODAP 2010 Chapter C9.8 specifies a method for analyzing nozzles for external loads;yet AutoPIPE vessel doesn't provide an option to select CODAP as a local load design method. Kindly request you to clarify this issue.

Regards.

  • Hi Akash,

    Yes you are correct at this time AutoPIPE Vessel does not have a feature to analyze per CODAP 2010 Ch.9.8. This new chapter is not yet completed, only nozzles in cylindrical shell are taken into account (opening in spherical shells and flat ends are in course of preparation according to CODAP). We will be logging this as a new enhancement.

    Until AutoPIPE Vessel has this feature added, please consider using one of the other alternate methods (i.e. WRC 107, EN 13445, PD 5500) currently available in the program.

    Thanks & Regards,
