Compression Ring for API-650 tanks
Compression Ring for API-650 tanks
(OP)
Concerning requirements for a compression ring for a tank with a small internal pressure, is the compression ring mandatory? All the figures of F-2 show a ring. My understanding (please confirm it) is that if "participating area" of roof and shell is sufficient, ring is not required.
2nd part of the question: is the internal pressure acting on the inside surface of the roof the cause of the compression?
Thanks
Mike

Then just one aside question, is the top angle considered a top wind girder also? Are they one and the same or considered independently?
Thanks
