Definitions of tensile rings and compressive rings for storage tanks

2016-05-12View Original

Thread Content

In section 5.1.5.8 of API 650, regarding the welding of the tank top plate and the flange angle steel, there is the following statement: The top-angle sections, tension rings, and compression rings shall be joined by butt-welds having complete penetration and fusion. Joint efficiency factors need not be applied when conforming to the requirements of 5.10.5 and 5.10.6. Could someone please clarify what exactly the top-angle sections, tension rings, and compression rings are, and what are the differences between them? Thank you
