How to use API 650 ANNEX M.4.2 formulation
(OP)
Dear All,
M.4.2 says that if all criterias of either condition a or b are met, cyclic design life evaluation need not to be made. Condition b, says that 0.3(Dt)^0.5 is normally maintained in tank. My question is this that the value which comes out from this formula needs to be compared with which liquid level: "high liquid level" or "low liquid level" or "low low liquid level"?
Regards
Inam

"N" is the estimated number of cycles. If the tank is not operated under exemption (a) or (b), then the bottom/annular plate/shell need to be adjusted so that N calculates to be greater than 1300.
