more manholes in Pressure vessel skirts?
more manholes in Pressure vessel skirts?
(OP)
Hi everyone.
I have a question, and hope to receive your feedback-
We have some pressure vessels with natural gas
about 4 mts diameter and 6 meter height, elliptical heads
these include skirts, about 20 mm in thickness.
Normally we include a 24 " manhole in the skirt.
Recently someone told us would be recommended to add a second manhole
in the skirt as a security issue, For example for fast venting in case of
a gas leak in the bottom of the vessel.
what are your toughts?
Are there goverments, laws or regulations in USA, ASME, API,etc
which states something about this? more manholes?
Thanks
