Homework Statement

If I'm looking for standard sizes of nozzle thickness.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

Should I be searching for the standard thickness of plates that are used to form the nozzle?

What kind of nozzle?

it says " 4”-600# flanged" pipe

The specification talks about using 4" pipe and 6" pipe for "nozzles", but provides no other details.

Usually, a drawing accompanies such a specification to provide the necessary details from which a cost estimate can be prepared.

Both pipe sizes are given as Schedule 80, the wall thickness of which can be obtained from a standard pipe size chart:

thanks, I also have a question about the shell design. I have an equation for the minimum required shell thickness
##\frac{P(R_{design}+corrosion)}{SE-0.6P}##

but I'm not given R_design. should I guess an R_design? what should I look at to check if the guess is a good estimate?

This is a pressure vessel so you will need to design shell , nozzles and other components to appropriate ASME codes .
