Introduction:WheneverPressure Vessel orHeat exchanger(StaticEquipments)nozzle loadsexceeds theallowable valuesprovided byVendors(Equipmentmanufacturer) orstandard projectspecific tables(guidelines), thepiping stressprofessional ispermitted touseWRC107/297 (oranyotherFEA) tocheckthestressesat theNozzle-Shell junctionpointandcheckthestresseswithallowablevaluesprovidedbyCodes.Ifthestressesarefoundtobewithinallowable limitthentheloadandmomentvaluescanbeacceptedwithoutanyhesitation.However thereare someboundary conditionswhichmustbemetbeforeusingWRC.Thissmallwriteupwilltrytoexplaintherequireddetails forperformingWRC107andWRC297usingCaesar IIandstepbystepmethodforperformingWRCcheck.BothWRC107andWRC297 dealwithlocalstressstatesinthevicinityofanattachmenttoavesselorpipe.As indicatedby their titles,WRC-107canbeused forattachments tobothspherical and cylindrical shells while WRC-297 only addresses cylinder tocylinder connections.Whilebothbulletinsareused fornozzle connection.WRC-107isbasedonun-penetratedshell,whileWRC-297assumesacircularopening in vessel. Furthermore, WRC-107 defines values for solid andhollow attachments of either round and rectangular shape for sphericalshellsbutdrops thesolid/hollowdistinction forattachments to cylindricalshells.WRC-297,ontheotherhand, is intendedonlyforcylindricalnozzlesattachedtocylindricalshells.BoundaryconditionforusingWRC107:To determine whether WRC 107 bulletin can be used for local stresscheckingthefollowinggeometryguidelinesmustbemet:1.d/D50 (Here, T=Vessel Thickness, Dm=mean diameter ofvessel)BoundaryconditionforusingWRC297:To determine whether WRC 107 bulletin can be used for local stresscheckingthefollowinggeometryguidelinesmustbemet:1.d/D

1.d/D=20andd/t=20andD/T=55. Nozzlemust be isolated (it may not be close to a discontinuity) notwithin2(DT)onvesselandnotwithin2(dt)onnozzleDifferencebetweenWRC107and297:The major differences other than the boundary conditions mentionedabovearelistedbelow:1. WRC 107 calculates only the vessel stresses while WRC 297 calculatesVesselstressesalongwithnozzlestresses.2.WRC297isapplicableonlyfornormally(perpendicular)intersectingtwocylindrical shells whereasWRC 107 is applicable for cylindrical as well assphericalshellsofanyintersection.3. The attachments for WRC 297 checking must be hollow but WRC 107analyzes cylindrical or rectangular attachments which can be rigid orhollow.4.WRC297isnotapplicablefornozzlesprotrudinginsidethevessel(Fig1),TangentialNozzle(Fig2),Nozzleatangle(Fig3).
