On the calculation of nozzle flexibility
Thread Content
At 18:45 today? Dear sea friends, I have a question: when calculating the forces on the nozzles of static equipment, it is possible to take into account flexible nozzles; in fact, it’s even possible to use software dedicated to nozzle analysis to determine the stiffness of such nozzles and then import that data into Caesar for further calculations. But can flexible nozzles be considered for the nozzles of dynamic equipment such as pumps? ?
Flexible pipe connections are generally not allowed for moving equipment, mainly because it is difficult to achieve flexibility in such equipment. It is also not conservative, so it is generally calculated based on a rigid pipe outlet.
