Very low Allowable Load on 3" Air Compressor - 10/03/10 11:46 AM

Dear all,
does anyone here have any experience with air compressor with allowable load such as 300 N for all force in all direction and 100 N for all moment in all direction for nozzle 3".
Is it possible to design piping to pass this allowbale load? coz in my experience before i only face very low allowable in steam turbine, and it is still in a range of 1500 N force for 4 inch nozzle.
If any of you have this experience please share how you face this problem. I have do many effort from rerouting, loops and expansion joint and many modification of support but still no result. Now i'm going talk direct to the vendor about this, and ask 10% margin if possible, because that is the value that i got at tnis time. But if any of friends here can suggest some idea please, i will very happy to learn from you.

Thanks

Talking to the vendor and to your mechanical discipline counterpart is a good idea.
