Roof to Angle Connections in API 650

Roof to Angle Connections in API 650

Roof to Angle Connections in API 650

(OP)
Can the details shown in Appendix 'F' Figure F-2 (specifically Detail 'A') be used as alternate roof to shell/angle connections to the roof to shell joints shown in Section 3, Figure 3-3A 'Typical Roof and Bottom Joints'?

Thank you in advance.

RE: Roof to Angle Connections in API 650

The details affect frangibility, which is defined somewhere there in Section 3.  That, and general cost and ease of construction, are the only reasons I know of not to use the App. F details.  The App. F details normally wouldn't be considered as prohibited in a non-App. F tank, just not required.
