Specifies the thickness of any reinforcing pad at the nozzle.
Typical units (depending on your unit system):
-
in
-
mm
-
cm
For WRC 297, API 650, and PD 5500, this thickness is added to the vessel wall thickness before the software performs nozzle stiffness calculations.
For Custom, this field is not used by the software. It is for information only and provides a way to document the basis for stiffness calculations performed by another method.
