Hi all,

I would like to know the correct way in order to calculate the dead load. The definition of this term in API 650 is not clear for me.

Now i'm doing a new spreadsheet for calculation of tank according api 650, if anyone can send me examples of calculation, it would be very useful for me.

Thanks,
