hi
what is the reference for weld line distance in Api 620? distance between openings and distance between nozzles and weld line? which part of api is refering to this?
I just found 5.14.5 in api620 which says min 6in distance is required between nozzles to any discontinuity. I wanna know how much distant should be between all nozzles?
could any one please help me?

See Section 5.17, also 5.27.10 for flush nozzles. Note that 5.16.5.1, definition of E', contains some allowance for nozzles passing through a weld, similarly for definition of tr in Fig. 5-7.
 
thank you very much Stephan. actually I`m a beginner in api620 and I could not find any source to learn it. since api 620 is complicated for me I`m looking for some books or source like "PTB asme section viii example manual" for api 620 unfortunately I could not find anything. do you know any book which could help learning api 620 faster?
