How to calculate CODAP Isolated opening, Shell stress verification, Nozzle values l , S , and St?

Solution: 

Given the following information:

Output report:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Code Reference: Figure C5.1.4b10

Solve for l:

As indicated in Figure C5.1.4 b10, lt (available length of branch) is measured along the nozzle wall. When the nozzle is mounted on a formed head, the available branch length may be greater than the nozzle projection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Using Figure C5.1.4b10 and  C5.1.4b11, solve for S and St

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Solve for S:

S = (L + et - et) * e

S = (199.596 + 20.4 - 98.5) * 10.2

S = 1239.3 mm^2

Solve for St:

St = (et * l) + (et * e)

St = (20.4 * 70.546) + (98.5 * 10.3)

St = 2456.6 mm^2
