Re: [MW:8908] No.of Joints

Dear Mr.Pawar, Can you please tell,whether this clarification is for tanks or pressure vessels? If it is for tank,following thing clarifies: Vertical joints in adjacent shell courses shall not be aligned, but shall be offset from each other a minimum distance of 5t,where t is the plate thickness of the thicker course at the point of offset.(Ref API 650 10th edition,sec.5.1.5.2.b). So when you are designing based on the above,you must consider nozzle openings ,supports as there will be possibility of clashing with welding seams.  Regards, Thiru.
