How many thickness of thin wall of atmospheric storage tank?
(OP)
Dear All,
As per project specification, which specify detail as below.
"Due to the thin wall of atmospheric storage tank"
from my experiment thin wall shall be less than 6 mm.
or r/t >=10
I trying find/search paper prove this but can't found.
So, if who have any document or standard please let me know.
Thank,

Go to API-650 Std. Paragraph 5.6.1.1

In Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain, he gives equations for hoop stress in a thick-walled cylinder. Evaluating those equations, you can get an approximate limit where stresses are the same as a thin wall.
