Technical Report · Sat Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1977

OSTI ID:7296096

Moore, S E; Bryson, J W

Short summaries are given for studies completed and reports published during the quarter including dimensional controls for piping products, combined loadings on ANSI B16.9 tees, and stresses at reinforced nozzles in spherical shell structures. A summary status report is also given for work currently in progress on the finite element analysis of isolated and closely-spaced nozzles in cylindrical pressure vessels. Finally, a summary report is given on the ASME Code and PVRC committee work including the current status of proposed Code rules revisions that are based, at least in part, on work conducted under the ORNL Design Criteria Program.
