Yes, he used para. 5.5.5 Annex F gives methods of qualifying nozzle loads in excess of those in Table 4. These methods may be
used if approved by the purchaser and the purchaser should then direct the piping designer accordingly. The
purchaser should be aware that the use of Annex F methods can result in up to 50 % greater misalignment than
would occur using the loads of Table 4.

And also:
F.1.2 Piping configurations that produce loads outside the ranges specified in Table 4 are also acceptable
without consultation with the pump vendor if the conditions specified in F.1.2 a) through F.1.2 c) are satisfied.
Satisfying these conditions ensures that any pump casing distortion will be within the vendor's design criteria (see
5.3.3) and that the displacement of the pump shaft will be less than 380 mm (0,015 in). This clause is a criterion for
piping design only.
a) The individual component forces and moments acting on each pump nozzle flange shall not exceed the range
specified in Table 4 by a factor of more than 2.
