API 650 - APPENDIX S - JOINT EFFICIENCY
API 650 - APPENDIX S - JOINT EFFICIENCY
(OP)
If I have to design a tank in accordance with API 650 , APPENDIX S (stainless steel tank),is it correct to consider different joint efficiencies (E) to be applied in the same shell but different shell elevations?
For instance, in order to reduce the shell thickness using E=1.0 on the lower part of the shell and using E=0.85 on the upper part of the shell.
Thanks.
