Hi,
I want to know, that how to calculate allowable steam nozzle loads for ASME-I boiler?
I also want "WRC 107 CHARTS"! FROM WHERE I GET THIS? Is this possible to download?
Pls. guide me ASAP.

Related ideas are discussed in thread1259-180585. It is not a trivial problem and will likely require some hard work.

I doubt you can download the WRC bulletin anywhere (legally at least). It is available for purchase from the Welding Research Council for about $72, at

http://www.forengineers.org.

Check any vessel design books you have- I think some of them include simplified nozzle load info. As well as some of the vessel design software.

Ask the ASME-I boiler manufacture for standard allowable external loads on boiler nozzle.

other option is Paulin NozzlePro software.
