4.3.4 Minimum "t" calculation for Riveted Tank Shell<br />

4.3.4.1 Use the same formula as 4.3.3.1, except that the following<br />

allowable stress criteria and joint efficiency shall be used:<br />

a. S = 21,000 lbs./sq./in.<br />

b. E - 1.0 for shell plate 6" or more away from rivets.<br />

NOTE: See Table 4-3 for joint efficiencies for locations within 6" of rivets.<br />

4.3.4.3 Evaluate to what extent, if any, riveted joints have been affected by<br />

corrosion. Relate "bulging" condition between internal butt-straps and shell<br />

plates with stress placed on rivets.<br />
