Storage Tank analysis-API 650

Storage Tank analysis-API 650

Storage Tank analysis-API 650

(OP)
hello,

This is regarding the storage tank analysis.
as per API 650 the appendix P is applicable to the the tank dia 36m & higher.Tank bulging is also the part of appendix P.
my query is for the tank having diameter less than 36m can we ignore the bulging effect ?
also the how to calculate the nozzle allowable forces and moments for these tanks ?

Vijay.

RE: Storage Tank analysis-API 650

Smallest allowable nozzle loads are often defined by thrust of the liquid entering the tank.

You'd probably be better off posting this in the Storage Tank engineering Forum if you need to know about design methods and limits.
