We are quoting alteration of a large ASME stamped carbon steel tank. Alteration includes addition of am 18 inch bottom flange with 36” long water boot w/ 2” 150# flange on bottom.
I'm not familiar with a water boot; can anyone provide guidance/information on what that might be.
Thanks

You might want to ask this question in the storage tanke engineering forum rather than the pump one (!), but would need to know which code it is "stamped". A water boot is simply a collection sump by another name which water drains into and presumably is higher SG than whatever is in the tank such that you can drain off water from the bottom from a single point and not have small pools of water on the base of the tank which are difficult to drain from a nozzle on the side.

My motto: Learn something new every day

Also: There's usually a good reason why everyone does it that way
