API Wind Load : one minute ?
API Wind Load : one minute ?
(OP)
Hello All,
In API 650 Section 3.11, wind load is specified based on 160 km/hr. But not mentioned 3 sec gust or 10 minutes average wind speed.
Factually, I would like to conversion my wind speed "x" (API maximum speed less than one minutes) to API general calculation speed, e.g., (x/160) to get the wind load.
If you have any ideas, please inform to me.
thank-u.
