Nozzle Loads. WRC-107 vs WRC-297

[Thruxton500]

Is WRC-107 acceptable to ASME VIII Div.1 for calculation of external loads on nozzles.
I don´t have any program for WRC-297, what is the difference between these two standards.

Both may be acceptable within their respective limits. However this is code practice, not code enforcement: the reviewer or AI will have to accept it.
WRC297 is for shells only, not heads. There is a calculation sheet for WRC297 in the first site below.
