I have a client who has ordered 3/16" THK 304L for their bottom course and now requires a thicker course instead. The tank is not yet built but material has been ordered. I thought I have seen an API 650 tank in the past using overlaid sheets to gain more thickness although perhaps my memory is incorrect. I looked through the standard and don't see anything referencing this as an acceptable design. My client is wondering if they could use another 3/16" plate to overlay and therefore have a total of 3/8" THK on the bottom course?
Thanks in advance for your response.
