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
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.
