Component Specifications

Definition
The nozzle neck is a cylindrical or tapered tubular section that forms the connection between the nozzle body of a shell nozzle assembly and the external piping system. It serves as a structural and functional interface, engineered to handle internal pressure, thermal stresses, and mechanical loads while maintaining alignment and sealing integrity. In industrial applications, it ensures controlled fluid entry or exit from vessels, reactors, or heat exchangers.
Working Principle
The nozzle neck operates by providing a sealed, pressure-resistant conduit that directs fluid flow between the shell nozzle and connected piping. It distributes mechanical stresses from the piping to the nozzle body, preventing leaks and maintaining system integrity under operational conditions such as high pressure, temperature variations, and fluid dynamics.
Materials
Common materials include carbon steel (e.g., ASTM A105, A350 LF2), stainless steel (e.g., ASTM A182 F304/F316), alloy steels (e.g., ASTM A182 F11/F22), and duplex stainless steels, selected based on corrosion resistance, temperature, and pressure requirements.
