    request: nozzle local stress analysis by Annex G of PD5500 in PvElite

    i am working on designing of a PD5500 - 2012 pressure vessel by PvElite 2014-sp2 software. after opening Nozzle input/Analysis menu, i select in calculation method bar, PD:5500 item. now my question is:
    if the nozzles on vessel doesn't have reinforcing pads (integrated type):
    i. should i consider membrane stress intensity factor alone for nozzle (1.2 f) or i must check only membrane+bending stresses (2.25 f) for nozzle local stress analysis by PD5500?
    should i check the Print membrane stress at nozzle Edge box for analysis of nozzle by Annex G of PD or not?
    please sea the attachment.

    more explain:
    A.3.3.2 paragraph in PD 5500 - 2012 says:
    A.3.3.2 Nozzles and openings subject to pressure and externally applied loads
    For these limits to apply the nozzle or opening has to be reinforced in
    accordance with 3.5.4.
    The maximum stress intensity adjacent to the nozzle or opening due to internal
    pressure shall be obtained from G.2.5 in the case of spherical shells, or from
    G.2.3.6 for cylindrical shells.
    Under the design combined load the stress intensity due to the sum of
    membrane and bending stresses shall not exceed 2.25f.

    our consultant based on above paragraph and example W.3.2.3 of pd 5500, interprets that there is no need for considering membrane stress intensity (1.2f) separately. so based on your answer, his interpretation is incorrect. i am right?

    thanks in advance for your help and PD 5500 - 2015 is a gift for the best answer.
