Nozzle Reinforcement

This document discusses the calculation of reinforcement for nozzles. It defines various terms used in the calculation including total required cross-sectional reinforcement area (A), available excess thickness areas (A1 and A2), available area when the nozzle extends inside the vessel (A3), cross-sectional area of added material as reinforcement (A5), and areas of various welds available for reinforcement (A41, A42, A43). It also defines other terms used in the calculation such as corrosion allowance (c), inside/outside diameters (D), finished opening diameter/dimension (d), joint efficiency factor (E1), and strength reduction factor (fr).
