API650 Flush-Type Shell Connection
API650 Flush-Type Shell Connection
(OP)
Hi all,
Need some help on Flush-Type Shell Connection. Do anyone have any experience on the connection between the shell plate, nozzle transition, and nozzle flange? As per API650 Fig. 5.14, its kinda confuse where one end of the nozzle transition is semi-oblong shape while the other end is a circular shape. Any advise will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for ur reply. I m currently fabricating a square tank in accordance to API650 which require a flush type shell connection outlet nozzle. Based on Figure 5.14 from API650, i m facing a problem to make a connection between the shell opening (semi-oblong shape) and nozzle flange (circular shape). Just trying to figure out any specific item to make the connection between the transition. Sorry to say that its impossible for ur recommendation since the tank is 90% completed and the only thing left is this flush type shell connection modification.

This link should help visualize what that transition should look like. Actual layout will be more involved, and it'll be thicker than sheet metal...
