Trunion Load Calculation

The document outlines the trunnion load check calculations for a piping system, detailing parameters such as pipe sizes, wall thicknesses, design pressures, and loads. It includes calculations for vertical, circumferential, and axial loads, as well as stress checks for both the parent and trunnion pipes. The results indicate that the calculated stresses are within allowable limits, confirming the integrity of the design.
