Shimming of Vertical Vessel Supported on Steel Structure

Shimming of Vertical Vessel Supported on Steel Structure

Shimming of Vertical Vessel Supported on Steel Structure

(OP)
Question relates to shimming.

For vertical vessels installed on steel decks/steel support (on offshore facilities as an example) and not on concrete foundation with grouting, are there any code/standards requirement restricting the use of multiple shims (packs) per location i.e. shims need to be of a single piece machined to size?

1. If there is, please advise which code/standard.
2. If there is no restriction as mentioned above, do the shims need to be tack/stitch welded to each other and to the base of the steel structure?


Many thanks in advance.
