Flange bending support

An injector comprising:

• a mounting flange;
• a feed arm extending from an inner surface of the mounting flange;
• and
• a spray nozzle extending from an end of the feed arm opposite the mounting flange, wherein the mounting flange includes at least one inlet fitting in fluid communication with one or more respective fluid passages through the feed arm, wherein the spray nozzle is in fluid communication with the one or more respective fluid passages for issuing a spray of fluid supplied from the at least one inlet fitting, and wherein the mounting flange includes:
• a first mounting lug with a fastener bore therethrough that passes through the mounting flange;
• and
• a first support beam extending along an outer surface of the mounting flange from the first mounting lug to a hub of the mounting flange, wherein the first support beam includes an outer surface spaced apart from the outer surface of the mounting flange and two opposed lateral surfaces each extending from the outer surface of the first support beam toward the outer surface of the mounting flange, wherein the outer surface of the first support beam includes a contour with a blended radius that extends along a majority of the length from the first mounting lug to the hub for mitigating mechanical stresses at the first mounting lug, wherein the support beam includes a stiffening beam extending from the lateral surfaces of the support beam to the outer surface of the mounting flange, wherein the stiffening beam is wider than the width between the opposed lateral surfaces of the support beam.
