Dear Members,

I would like to know which paragraph in WRC-107/297 says/allows the use of reinforcing pad thickness while calculating the local stresses in a nozzle to shell junction in cylindrical shells or spherical dishes. The WRC code refers the "T" as wall thickness of cylindrical shells only.

Thanks and Regards
