Shell Manway Cover Thickness API 650
Shell Manway Cover Thickness API 650
(OP)
Is there a formula for calculating the thickness of a shell manway cover plate based on the tank height. The table in API 650 is handy but I would like to use a formula in my spreadsheet to calculate the thickness given the tank height, corrosion allowance and so on. Thanks in advance, Kent.
Thanks for your help, Kent.

fo rvery large tanks the flat plate cover rotation
We developed some curves for a client for a specialty tank insert box but got strain gauging done as we were so uncomfotrtable with the thin shell behaviour.
Try fepipe for a set of results

The formulae are the same as UG-34 from ASME VIII Div. 1
