Welding on Annular bearing plate
Welding on Annular bearing plate
(OP)
Hi All,
I have a 215' Diameter tank that has a annular ring and an annular bearing plate. Is it necessary to grind the welds flush between the 2 annular rings?
Thanks for your input.

Weld every-other piece of the annular ring togather, welding from both sides, like it is normally done. Lay these segments on the bearing plate. Have the 'tankies' wedge the annular plates up slightly at the splices [th remaining welds], and insert a thin piece of ceramic backing to facilitate the splice welding. Make sure all ceramic bars are removed prior to building the shell on top of the finished annular ring.
