Inverted cone roofs for API-650
Inverted cone roofs for API-650
(OP)
I have a client that is looking for an inverted cone roof on a 30 foot diameter tank. Does API recognize this type of installation? Are there issues with type of installation?
Best Regards,

API does not recognize this type of roof.
What do you do with water/snow/ice that accumulates?
Should not be too hard to design, look out for additional forces on the upper tank shell.

the open top floating roof type tank's roof(external)
has somewhat inverted cone like design
although not with a very sharp slope from side to centre to appear like an inverted cone.
