    Babcock This may be more appropriate for the piping section since

    it refers to CAESAR rather than TANK, but it relates to API Mod

    I used the API 650 nozzle option in CAESER for my nozzle 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

    practice was only recommended for tanks 120' in diameter 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

    No, there is no alternate API-650 computation method that
    I am aware of. Appendix P was developed from technical
    papers published which described the instrumentation, full
    scale testing, and FE verification of two tanks. That's it,
    two tanks. Both were large tanks, diameter about 120 ft,
    hence the code (limit) clarification.

    One alternative would be to perform an FE analysis of your


    own to qualify the nozzle(s). <em>You may want to

    consider the FE/Pipe program from Paulin Research


    Group, I know this has an API-650 nozzle template.</em>

    "Can you take credit for the reinforcing pad?" Yes, indicate
    to CAESARÂ II that the reinforcing is on the shell. This
    will use the figures labeled similarly from the code.
    According to the API references, these curves were
    developed from nozzles where a repad existed and its
    thickness was equal to the tank's shell thickness.

    Another method is to use WRC297 which has been
    Member addressed in API650 App.P, have a look to that section ,
    Hope you can get good result.

    Richard
    Ay I strongly suggest you stay away from the current WRC
    Member Implementation in APi-650 Appendix P. This section of the
    code is full of errors.
