API-650 Appendix nightmare

API-650 Appendix nightmare

API-650 Appendix nightmare

(OP)
On a bid to fabricate a tank using API-650 as the governing code, I've found it the tank requires the use of Appendices S, J, F, and M.  The appendices don't seem to mesh well when used all at the same time.  Ever gone through this?  Any advice?  Does any one Appendix take precedence?  thank you in advance!

Tank:

2.5 psig
340 deg F
304 Stainless Steel
13'-2" OD
24'-0" Shell Height
Flat Bottom, Dome Roof
SG=1.2

 

RE: API-650 Appendix nightmare

Appendix M gives modifications to the rest of the standard, including App. F, and then Appendix S gives modifications to that.  App. J won't really make much difference in the design.
