Dear Friends,
What is the difference between a sketch plate vs annular plate.

Thanks in advance.

Great subject line.

See drawing.

A "sketch plate" can be any odd-shaped piece of plate.

Only for complement to JStephen, annular plates are locate in periphery of tank bottom and the shell rests over these ones. Skecth plates could be located over annular plates for complete the bottom tank without bearing the tank shell. See API 650 11th Edition, Add 2008, paragraphs 5.1.5.4, 5.4 y 5.5.
