How should “subjected to” be translated?
Thread Content
With the exception of nozzles with a nominal pipe size of less than 4 inches that are not subjected to external loads, as well as manways, all flanges are Class 150. Can “external loads and manways” be translated as “external loads and manholes”? It seems there’s little connection between the two terms…
“\"External load\" should actually be translated as \"external loads\".
A man hole is what’s known as a “manhole”.

With the exception of nozzles less than 4 inches NPS that are not subject to external loads and manways, all flanges are Class 150. Except for nozzles with an NPS of less than 4 inches which cannot withstand external loads or be used at manholes, all flanges belong to Class 150. The original poster was probably referring to the translation related to towers! Inside the distillation tower, there are manway sprays, condenser sprays, and reboiler sprays. So, the poster can combine the external load with the manhole, and provide a spraying system at the manhole. There are many English terms for manholes: manhole, manway, manhead – not just man hole. To be under the control of… is the phrase \"be subjected to\", not \"subjected to\". Here are some examples: Load-deformation Analysis of a flanged Connection System Subjected to External Loads. The above is for reference only; please correct it!
Except for nozzles with an NPS of less than 4 inches that are not subject to external loads and manways, all flanges are Class 150. All flanges are of grade 150, except for those nozzles with an NPS of less than 4 inches that are not exposed to external loads and do not have manholes.

“With the exception of nozzles less than 4 inches NPS that are not subject to external loads and manways, all flanges are Class 150. I agree generally with the view expressed on the 5th floor, but the term “NPS” seems not to be appropriate in this context, as NPS refers to “American **standards”; including it here doesn’t seem right, so perhaps it should be omitted altogether
Isn’t NPS the nominal diameter? Except for pipe ends and manholes with an external load less than 4\" in nominal diameter, the flange class for all other pipe ends is class150.
Agree with the person above; NPS here should be understood as the nominal diameter
