Is it necessary to check the nozzle load of the pump under seismic conditions?

As the title says. Under seismic conditions, the calculated pump outlet pressure exceeds the API610 value. Do we still need to consider the forces at this point?
Such problems arise in the design of high-end pumps, and finite element analysis of stress is required. They can cause damage to the pipe ends or permanent deformation of those ends, resulting in their inability to function properly; or the stress on the pipe ends can affect the proper operation of other parts of the pump, which is not acceptable
There’s something wrong with this question itself. The root of this problem lies in whether you need to take seismic factors into account. For example, nuclear pumps must be taken into consideration; other general factors are not considered.
