Hello,
Just wanted to ask for your advice guys on the maximum design temperature of stainless steel tanks in API 620.
Its says the following,
"Its up to the purchaser to specify the maximum temperature, not to exceed the 120 deg C."
Now in my case I need a storage tank that is at 500 Deg C...
Hi Guys,,
Just wanted to confirm with other engineers here is the R in t/R, the outer diameter of the structure member in question?
I copied the notes at the bottom of table 5.3, its says the following;
"The variables in the compressive stress equations are defined as follows:
l= unbraced...
Hi guys,
Just wondering if someone could shit some light regarding R3 and with respect to R2.
As I understand it R2 is a function of a(horizontal semi axis),b(vertical semiaxis) and x. (elliptical function mentioned in the standard 620)
and
R3 is R2/cos(half-apex-angle).
I was trying to get...
Hi guys,
Me and my workmates are new to tank design and we find the description of R1 and R2 extremely confusing. The mention that R1 can be negative when is on the opposite side of R2 increases our confusion.
We are basically having a hard to understanding where R1 and R2 are with respect to...
