Note: Simplified calculation. Full UG-36/37 analysis requires consideration of all reinforcement zones. Consult a pressure vessel engineer for final design.
Reference
ASME VIII UW-16: Min throat = 0.7 x tmin
UG-37 Reinforcement: A_required = d x t_r
A_available = excess shell + excess nozzle + weld metal area
