  • [a] For extra-strong pipe, see ASTM A53 or ASTM A106 for other wall thicknesses; however, piping material must conform to API Std 650 4.5.
  • [b] The width of the shell plate shall be sufficient to contain the reinforcing plate and to provide clearance from the girth joint of the shell course.
  • [c] Unless otherwise specified by the Purchaser, the nozzle shall be located at the minimum distance but shall also meet the weld spacing requirements of API Std 650 5.7.3.
  • [d] The \(H_N\) dimensions given in this table are for Appendix A tank designs only; see API Std 650 5.7.3 to determine minimum \(H_N\) for basic tank designs.
  • [e] See Table API Std 650 5-7b, Column 2.
  • [f] Flanged nozzles and couplings in pipe sizes NPS 2 or smaller do not require reinforcing plates. \(D_R\) will be the diameter of the hole in the shell plate, and Weld A will be as specified in Table API Std 650 5-7b, Column 6. Reinforcing plates may be used if the construction details comply with reinĀ¬forced nozzle details.
  • [g] A coupling in an NPS 3 requires reinforcement.
  • [h] See API Std 650 5.7.3.
