STRUCTURAL STRESS ANALYSIS OF API 610 PUMP NOZZLES OH2 80-315

The API pumps system may be required to withstand design and operational conditions. Economic Zone Sulphuric Acid Storage Tanks Construction system is composed by the piping system, centrifugal pumps which are hearts of systems. As consequence, reviewed loads in the pump nozzles were obtained demanding a new evaluation of them. The aim of this report is to present the structural evaluation of the pump nozzles, considering the loads coming from the worst condition which can be exposure according to: API 610 code verification, Supplier loads and structural analysis applying finite element method, by using the ANSYS STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS program, regarding API 610 recommendations.
