Posted this in ASME code issues section, but perhaps this is a more appropriate forum.
What criteria do you use for assessment of deformations to the tank shell for in-service storage tanks? API 650 & 653 give construction tolerances for new build and reconstructed tanks. Is the same criteria applied to in-service tanks or are there
other assesments that can be carried out, other than full FEA.
