Subject: [PipingDesign] Piping Reactions
The method for determining the piping reaction on pressure vessel nozzle to check wheteher it is strong enough to withstand the applied loads is quite rigorous. Before the advent of FEA/piping analysis software, one has to wrestles with the Bijlaard's equations or the WRC 107.
If you don't have the software but still wanted to verify the reactions, A quicker method has appeared in the Chemical Engineering journal. It was written by Walter Stikvoort, a dutch engneer. its simple and neat.
