PVC/FRP Tanks - Thickness?
(OP)
We would like to find a book or software in order to size pvc/frp tanks for our plating lines. We are dealing with chemicals with different specific gravity : it is difficult for us to choose the right thickness. Where can I find rules of thumb for different products or design criteria?

We have a lot of FRP and PVC tanks in the facilities we design (water/wastewater treatment plants) and we never do the tank design. We write a specification, give the nozzle locations and other openings and the supplier designs the tank. We request the calculations for record.

Hi,
There is a very simple way to size the wall, there exists an ASTM standard called D4097-95a that clearly states standard wall thicknesses, as well as all the rest for your exact application. Pick up a copy at the ASTM site, I think it's about $40 US.
cheers
