First you must determine the Specification the tank is to be built to. (API 620, API 650, API 12, etc.) Then you should procure a "Standards" or "Specification" booklet for it. This will give you all the info. necessary to design your Joints & their weldments. The API Standards can be bought thru most Engineering Publications Stores. Hope this helps, Thanks, Scooter

Yes I am sorry, I think I did not specify, I am building an API 650 tank. I do not know how this kind of problems (overlaping welding is treated by the API 650. I am not an expert interpretating the code, so I was looking for someone with experience using the API 650 code to guide me in finding the solution.

If you can build a tank, you can interpretate the API 650 standards manuel. The weld design section has many drawings, the related information is simple to understand & read, you should not have any problems with this IF YOU WILL GET A COPY OF THE API 650 STANDARD. Try it, you'll like it. Scooter
