[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 HN dimensions given in this table are for Appendix A tank designs only; see API Std 650 5.7.3 to
determine minimum HN 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. DR 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 rein¬forced nozzle details.
[g] A coupling in an NPS 3 requires reinforcement.
[h] See API Std 650 5.7.3.
