A customer is asking me to design a nozzle welding to a forged valve body.
The thickness T1 of the valve body is large overdesigned.
OD2 and T2 (see attachment) are NPS & SCHEDULE of a standard pipe, and the schedule is the same of the main valve (Valve 12" #2500 SCH.160 -> Nozzle NPS 1" SCH.160).
How can I suppose that I don't need any reinforcement and how can I verify the wall thickness of the nozzle pipe. I think that I don't need any reinforcement due to the big valve thickness, but I'm not sure.
ASME VIII gives a formula to calculate T2 for this design condition?
Can you help me?
Thank you very much!
