API 650 Section I.7.1

API 650 Section I.7.1

API 650 Section I.7.1

(OP)
Dear Experts
What is your interpretation of this paragrpah?

Assuming that all other requirements of this para are met,

Can a API 650 tank with a design temperature of 100C be supported on grillage ?

Thanks for your reply in advance.

RE: API 650 Section I.7.1

Answer appears to be "no".

If you refer to Appendix M, tanks are adequate for up 200F/93C without any special provision for thermal design.  I think the intent of this section is to say that Appendix M isn't applicable to grillage-supported tanks.  Not that it couldn't be built, or wouldn't work, but rather the App. M thermal analysis makes different assumptions.
