You do not need know the reducer wall thickness. The piping model uses the thickness of the connected pipe. The model also applied an SIF to the connected points. The reducer SIF only uses the slope of the reducer tapper and does not use the wall thickness.
Pump Nozzle loads are limited to stop external forces acting on the pump base and effecting the motor/pump alignment. The allowable forces limits are not there to limit the stress in the nozzle steel.
As above, if the bellow's tie rods are not engaged then the pressure force does act...
The required thickness for buttweld fitting is enough so if the fitting is welded to seamless pipe the pipe would always burst first.
An XS reducer should have weld prep for XS pipe on each and thicker wall in the middle. The small end may be even thicker since the reducer is formed but...
This what happens when no leakage damage is not reported. Shuts down the country.

Update, the plant owner is going to;
Use a crane.
Add lifting lugs to the discharge tubes. Custom design to allow stops to be fitted without reaching up
Add threaded tapings to the holders for eye bolts
Autopipe has Spectrums for IBC 2006, Euro EC8, EC8 IS 1893-2002. All directions covered.
but you need to know what you are doing to run spectrum analysis.
You can look out all the dimension to match the flanges in the flange code excepted for the thickness.
The client's piping designer should be able the sate the thickness as they know the line design pressure and what the slip ring is used for.
Defiantly one stress model for design/operating and occasional loads.
Often an external expert is used to define the seismic actions for a project, but they do need to understand piping design so they can advise the appropriate seismic design factors.
B31E is worth a read.
How to others handle large rupture disc holders when discs need to be changed?
We are looking DN350 holders which weight ~ 60Kg and need to be removed from under the discharge tubes to change the discs. We have a way to jack up the discharge tubes but not sure how to slide out the holders...
My guess, 60Ksi is to limit stress in high strength metals and avoid brille failure.
as above, important to note ap/Rp factor is different for B31.x and B31E.
I agree ID of the SW step does not effect the strength of the flange or the piping. Just adds an internal bump when the pipe ID is less than the SW step ID. May also cause a mismatch of gasket IDs to flange face if the project has a mixture of SW and WN flanges.
B16.5 does require the...
Hi
Can I please have recommendations for additional reinforcing to transfer moments and forces on a steel pipe imbedded item into a slab. The embedded item is the only loading point on the foundation so there a lot of load to transfer into the slab.
We can add holes for bars through the...

Flange and pipe wall thickness are only loosely related. Pipe wall needs to consider corrosion allowance, flange class does not.
eg. As above the default ID for small WN and SW class 150 flanges is STD pipe, but when corrosion allowance is considered the pipe could be thicker. WN...
After I bit more digging, Per B16.5 the default ID of small SW (& WN) flanges is
class 150 - STD weight
class 300 - STD weight
class 600 - must be specified by the purchaser
So I would say order SW flanges with the pipe SCH stated.
What is more common when ordering socket weld flanges to get the correct ID of the socket step?
1. state the pipe sch e.g XS or SCH80
2. state the # rating e.g 3000# (to match XS pipe)
