Bentley® AutoPIPE Nozzle is a stand-alone, engineering application used for calculating local stresses at nozzle/vessel junctions, trunnion attachment points, clip connections and lug attachments on the vessel shell. Based on well-known engineering design standards like WRC, KHK, API and PD, AutoPIPE Nozzle helps engineers and designers quickly determine whether or not the wall of a pressure vessel, exchanger or tank can withstand piping loads on the nozzle or at clip and lug connections.
Program Features
The standard configuration of program includes these features:
-
- Internationally recognized design codes: WRC 107, WRC 297, BS PD5500, API 650 and KHK 1 & 2
- Extensive material libraries for ASME VIII Div I, Div II and PD5500, 1998 ASME VIII code case 2290, 2000 ASME I, III & IV, ASME 2009 VIII Div 1, VIII Div 2 & Sect III, PD5500/enquiry case 91, ASME materials to the PD5500, JIS, KHK
- JIS and DIN pipe property library
- Shell types: cylindrical, conical, spherical, semielliptical, and torispherical
- Nozzle attachment types: hollow or solid round, hollow or solid rectangular
- Shell deflections, rotations and stiffness values are calculated for all shell types per PD5500 Annex G for longitudinal, circumferential and radial loadings
