standart for minimum distance of suction intake-bottom plate
(OP)
Hello Friends
I want to learn if there is a API standard that gives information about the minimum distance between suction pipe intake and the reservoir bottom.
Thanks

but I am actually looking for a value that can be used in storage tank design.
I mean API 650 gives a value such as the minimum distance between the suction intake and botoom of the tank should be 1 times the diameter of the intake nozzle for sump draw-off.
But nothing is given in API 650 for oil suction.
