Bottom plates or annular plates KEY RTR = Regular-Type Reinforced Opening (nozzle or manhole) with diamond or circular shape reinforcing plate or insert plate that does not extend to the bottom (see Figure 5.7a and Figure 5.8). LTR = Low-Type Reinforced Opening (nozzle or manhole) using tombstone type reinforcing plate or insert plate that extends to the bottom [see Figure 5.8, Detail (a) and Detail (b)]. S-N = Shell openings with neither a reinforcing plate nor with a thickened insert plate (i.e. integrally reinforced shell openings; or openings not requiring reinforcing).

NOTE 1 NOTE 2 NOTE 3 NOTE 4
If two requirements are given, the minimum spacing is the greater value, except for dimension “F.” See Note 4. t = shell thickness. 8W = 8 times the largest weld size for reinforcing plate or insert plate periphery weld (fillet or butt-weld) from the toe of the periphery weld to the centerline of the shell butt-weld. D = spacing distance established by minimum elevation for low-type reinforced openings from Table 5.6a and Table 5.6b, column 9. Purchaser option to allow shell openings to be located in horizontal or vertical shell butt-welds. See Figure 5.9. t = shell thickness, r = radius of opening. Minimum spacing for dimension F is the lesser of 8t or 1/2 r.
