[*] - This was a small opening and the areas were not computed or
the MAWP of this connection could not be computed because
the longitudinal bending stress was greater than the hoop stress.
Note: MAWPs (Internal Case) shown above are at the High Point.
Multiple output lines for the same nozzle indicates required Code calculations in both the
longitudinal and circumferential planes of reinforcement where applicable.

General Notes for the above table:
The cut length is the outside projection + inside projection + drop + in-plane shell
thickness. This value does not include weld gaps, nor does it account for shrinkage.
In the case of oblique nozzles, the outside diameter must be increased. The re-pad width
around the nozzle is calculated as follows:
Width of Pad = (Pad Outside Dia. (per above) - Nozzle Outside Dia.)/2
For hub nozzles, the thickness and diameter shown are those of the smaller and thinner section.

There were no geometry errors or warnings.
PV Elite performs all calculations internally in Imperial Units
to remain compliant with the ASME Code and any built in assumptions
in the ASME Code formulas. The finalized results are reflected to show
the set of selected units for this analysis.
One or more nozzles in this model was specified using the actual thickness basis and a standard
flange is also specified. In many cases a matching nominal diameter cannot be determined and
the weight of the flange and optional blind flange cannot be determined. When actual thickness
basis is specified, you must calculate the weight of the assembly (by hand) and enter it into
the 'Overriding Weight' field in the nozzle dialog when there is a standard flange
specified. However, for FVC nozzles that have their nominal diameter specified in the
FVC dialog, entering the overriding weight for that nozzle is not required.
The ASME Code Section VIII Division 1 does not explicitly require stresses on elements to be
computed under test conditions. Please see interpretation VIII-1-10-12 for more information.
PV Elite also computes weight due to test fluid and uses the weight in various calculations such as
saddle and leg loads. PV Elite also computes static pressure due to operating and test liquids. The
static pressure is used in conjunction with the design and test pressures to determine a total
pressure in the determination of required thickness, MAWP etc. This ensures compliance with
UG-22 requirements.

Natural Frequency Calculation: Step: 11 11:51am Mar 26,2025
The Natural Frequencies for the vessel have been computed iteratively
by solving a system of matrices. These matrices describe the mass
and the stiffness of the vessel. This is the generalized eigenvalue/
eigenvector problem and is referenced in some mathematical texts.
The Natural Frequency for the Vessel (Empty.) is 22.0344 Hz.
The Natural Frequency for the Vessel (Ope...) is 19.9844 Hz.
The Natural Frequency for the Vessel (Filled) is 16.7423 Hz.

This calculation is valid for nozzles that meet all the requirements of
paragraph UG-36. Please check the Code carefully, especially for nozzles
that are not isolated or do not meet Code spacing requirements. To force
the computation of areas for small nozzles go to Tools->Configuration
and check the box to force the UG-37 small nozzle area calculation.
