2. WELDING THE REINFORCING PLATE:
• If the vessel wall thickness is too thin, weld a reinforcing plate onto it. Welding procedure should use
all-around welding so that no gap arises between the vessel and the reinforcing plate. Leave one spot
unwelded for bleeding air. If no spot is left unwelded for bleeding the air, the air creates a cushion,
dampening the effect of impact.
• A large impact force is transferred to the reinforcing plate at the time of operation. In order to avoid
failure, install as instructed.
