The WRC 107/537 convention system has the benefit of being independent of the orientation of the vessel. All loads and moments are defined locally with respect to the vessel and the nozzle.

The following WRC 107 convention system is used for a cylindrical vessel:

P - Radial load
VC - Circumferential shear load
VL - Longitudinal shear load
MC - Circumferential moment
ML - Longitudinal moment
MT - Torsional moment


The following WRC 107 convention system is used for a spherical vessel:

P - Radial load
V1 - Shear load from points B to A
V2 - Shear load from points D to C
M1 - Moment from points A to B
M2 - Moment from points D to C
MT - Torsional moment
