API 650 Split Reinforcing Pad
API 650 Split Reinforcing Pad
(OP)
Hello All,
I have a 72.75" diameter reinforcing pad that is going to be used on a 36" manway for a tank. The design is being carried out per API 650. The problem is that access to the area where the nozzle is being installed is very limited. The hatch leading to the area where the manway is going to be installed is only 4'x18". Therefore my reinforcing pad wil not fit through in its existing form. Does API allow for split reinforcing pads?
Thanks for your help.

(If I ever need a split repad I'll make sure that the split is on the horizontal centerline).
Cheers,
