Looking for ANSI A58.1-72

[GJBrown]

I'm trying to compare the current wind loads to the design wind loads for some methane gas spheres. They were designed in 1978 so I'm assuming that the Building Code would have referenced the then-current standard, ANSI A58.1-72. If someone has a copy I'd like to get some information from it. Mainly the wind speed, formulas, and coefficients. Thanks in advance for your time.

You might be able to find a copy of the 58.1-72 at

If CBI built the sphere they should still have the original calculations for the sphere.

Your AI should be able to help get an U1 if the vessel was built under code.
