Hi all,

According with topic: http://65.57.255.42/ubbthreads/ubbthread...=true#Post44919 ,

"The difference between the large ID of the bellows and the small ID of the bellows will provide an area upon which the pessure will develop a compressive load on the nozzle."

So,

It's the same method that we can find at EJMA Standards. If we do a hand calculation (according with EJMA), it's possible to isolate the compressive load on the nozzle and the load that goes to pump anchor.

But how I can simulate these loads isolated in CAESAR II? And for API 610, what is the load used for calculations? Load on pump nozzle or Load on pump anchor?

For a simple example, please use Example 06 encountered in EJMA Standards Appendix J, page J-19.

Thanks in advance,

Miyamoto
