The issue of openings in the container manway sections

Sure, just calculate the strength, stress, etc. to ensure they meet the requirements
Sure, but be careful that the location of the opening does not fall within the reinforcement height of the pipe fitting used for reinforcement
Sure, but large pores are generally not used. When the hole is made larger, attention must be paid to the weakening caused by the opening; reinforcement calculations must be carried out, including for the cylinder in which the manhole is located.
