By Doug Stelling. The annular plate-to-shell junction is one of the most critical areas in an API 650 Tank, and is one of the most difficult areas in which to assess corrosion. The annular plate typically rests on a crushed stone or concrete ring wall, and joins the highly stressed shell of the tank to the bottom plates. The bottom plates are for the most part supported by the tank pad or foundation, and are lowly stressed.
An annular tear â also known as an annular fissure â is a rupture or opening in the annulus fibrosus, the tough outer layer of the cushioning discs that sit between the bones in the spine. When the gel-like substance inside the disc leaks out, it can come in contact with spinal nerves and trigger pain. An annular tear can occur in the cervical spine, creating neck pain, and in the lumbar spine, creating pain or other sensations that may radiate down a single leg or both legs. The pain is often grows worse during lifting or bending motions, sneezing, coughing, sitting and standing.
