NEW LOW TYPE NOZZLE WITH HOT TAP PROCEDURE
(OP)
Dear all,
I have a question regarding hot tap procedure in an existing tank. We have to include a new nozzle in an existing tank using hot tap system (according to API 653 and 2201), and i would like to know if i can use a regular or low type nozzle. It's important because the elevation of the new nozzle meets the low type nozzle requeriments but not for a regular type.
Thanks in advance,
