Storage tank sizing
Storage tank sizing
(OP)
Hey,
I need to do sizing for a storage tank.
The only information I get from client was, he need a 400 metric ton storage tank. The storage liquid will be oil.
How to size with the given information. I just need an estimation of a sizing. Usually, client will give us the capacity he wanted in m3, but this time its in metric ton.
Do I first have to know the density of the liquid? and calculate the capacity by using mass/density?

RE: Storage tank sizing
Density or specific gravity, then calculate required volume for that mass.

Might ba little less, but if that's all he's given you then use the numbers above.
At that sort of size it won't make massive difference.
so about 12m diam x 5.5 high?
Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
