Dear Mandeep,

The formulae written above are the acceptable formulaes by clients and universally recognized.

However, if clients do not provide the allowable nozzle load table in BED then one can get confirmation from clients before using these formulaes.

Personally, I do not forsee any problem in forces and moment derived by this method.

Reference for these formulaes can be found out in any piping handbook.
