TANK CALCULATION API 650 / EN 14015
TANK CALCULATION API 650 / EN 14015
(OP)
Anybody knows wich are the main differences beetween the API 650 standard and the EN 14015 for the Tank Calculation?
I'm using the COADE TANK Software for a Tank Pre-sizing. I'm not sure that I can use that software for a presizing of a Tank designed according to the EN 14015 standard. COADE TANK is based on API 650 but I don't know if there are actual differences on the calculation method compared to the EN Standard. Anybody can help me?

I don't use the program and am not familiar with the EN codes so I'm not going to be of direct help.
However, since it has been several days since you asked and no one else has helped, a little bit is probably better than none. So here goes.
1) There is a Coade forum (forum775: COADE, Inc.: CAESAR II ). It is mostly aimed at the CAESER II product. However, if you post over there, (noting that it is a cross post from this one due to a suggestion), I know that one of the Coade/Intergraph people frequents the forum. I can't guarantee he'll see and reply to your question of course, but that would probably be a better fit.
2) If you google COADE Tank, you should be able to find their site which has a "contact us" link for questions.
3) You could try the site search. I vaguely think this question has come up before, but not in this forum (maybe in the pipelines one.)
4) If nothing else, my replying will bump this up to the top of the list. Maybe someone else with more experience in API 650, EN 14015 and COADE Tank will now read it and answer.

There is also the API tank forum here at eng-tips. (Likely more help than a pressure vessel forum.)
And Coade provides support forums on their site as well. There you may get more direct assistance.
