How to transfer loads from flanged faces to nozzle? By moments? How? Can you give an example?

I understand there are lectures in applied mechanics in India. I am sure this question is covereed there much better than we can in this forum.

Please do not hesitate to collect some basic knowledge on the laws of physics, in particular mechanics, before dealing with the Code, and its application. We all need to bear in mind that the equipment under pressure is dangerous to the public and therefore it is wise to know how to apply the rules.

Sorry, we can not teach you the basics in a forum.

Dirk, some brave (maybe foolish) men advertise treir stuff as safe

Wonderful, Konrad!

Amazing how you are cutting the filet from the deer.

Let me reply with another nice example: A car can be dangerous, right? All car manufacturers are advertising on the safety features of their product. The interesting aspect is the development, maybe you remember the 70s when most cars did not even have seatbelts. Nowadays this is just normal. Anyway, can a car be safe? Can a pressure vessel be safe? When it has been built considering today's engineering knowledge, it can be reasonably safe, which will never be perfect. When pressurized, a vessel should always be treated with the respect that a dangerous machine deserves.

Didn't mean to be picky, just kidding. 70's car I remember is a Polski Fiat 125p, with seatbelts only on front seats and bumpers attached to the body with two pieces of bent brackets


I saw some World War II pressure equipment, for instance a big holzgas generator for delousing soldiers' uniforms, blankets and beddings. Tell you what: overdesign like crazy, today they would make it with 10% of the steel they used that time, and they didn't have too much steel, did they? Probably today you could build it with the material of rivets from that old drum only
I wonder what code did they have then...
