Joint Efficiency for the plate<br />

For Welded Tank<br />

E is the original joint efficiency for the tank. Use Table 4.2 if original E is<br />

unknown. E = 1.0 when evaluating the retirement thickness in a corroded<br />

plate, when away from welds or joints by at least the greater of 1 in. or twice<br />

the plate thickness.<br />

For Riveted Tank<br />

E is 1.0 for shell plate 6 in. or more away from rivets. See Table 4.3 for joint<br />

efficiencies for locations within 6 in. of rivets.<br />
