Drain through floor-wall joint at sloped bottom tank
Drain through floor-wall joint at sloped bottom tank
(OP)
I have seen many tanks with a planar sloped bottom (aka shovel bottom) and a drain at the low point of the slope. This drain might be a 6" pipe vertically centered on the wall to bottom plate joint and then run in to the tank a few feet (I have attached at detail from an existing tank). The tanks claim to be designed per API-650 (Modified). I am specifying a new tank for a job and would like to use this detail. The new tank is 10.5' dia x 30' tall.
Does this detail comply with API 650?
Is anyone familiar with a code or other design reference for this detail?
Any other thoughts or recommendations on the use of this or similar details?
Your input is appreciated.
