Tank pipe
Tank pipe
(OP)
How can the design P be determined for a tank ?
Tank design P is 2.5psi and tank is for LNG storage.
I went over API-620 and did not see the related requirement. Instead , API-620 has minimum wall thickness requirement.Should I calculate from thickness to design pressure and then operating pressure?
Do any other codes cover this aspect?

I just realized I can not change my thread here!
Missing a keyword in my thread. Sorry for confusing.
Rephase below.
"How can the design P be determined for the piping connecting to a tank ?
Tank design P is 2.5psi and tank is for LNG storage.
I went over API-620 and did not see the piping design P related. Instead , API-620 has minimum pipe wall thickness requirement.Should I calculate from thickness to design pressure and then operating pressure for the connecting piping?
Say, piping for discharge and loading.
Do any other codes cover piping connecting to the tank and its pressure rating?"
Thanks
