    • Maximum shell thickness as per API 650 - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - Rajesh [634] 1 Stars
      Dear Friends,

      I was just going through API 650 Table 5.2a for permissible plate material & allowable stress in column three for plate thickness up to 100 mm is specified.But correct me if i am wrong as per API 650 maximum shell thickness should 45 mm. This table is some what confusing me.

      Please clarify this.

      Regards,
      Rajesh

        yes Max thickness for shell is 45 mm
        if calculation lead to a higher thickness then a higher material grade shall be used.
