General primary membrane stress
circ = P*Rxs / (2*teff) (4.5.144) 23092.0634 psi
Maximum local primary membrane stress at the nozzle intersection

Allowable stress
Sallow = 1.5*S*E (4.5.57) 54150.0000 psi
PL ≤ Sallow ; 25279 ≤ 54150; Since Maximum Induced Stresses are less than Allowable Stress , nozzle construction is
(4.5.146) psi

Calculating Maximum Permissible Hydrotest Pressure of Nozzle
Ap = (fN + fS + fY) / P (4.5.150) 1400.5470 in2
