I am designing a tank with design pressures -10Kpa/30KPa(-1.45/4.35 psi). The tank is flat bottomed (uniformily supported on the ground).
I was using API 620 but I can't calculate the cylinder under external pressure (view 5.10.5: API620 formulas are not intended to be used for evaluating...
I am designing an atmospheric stainless steel open top tank and the design temperature is 66ºC (150,8ºF).
As it is a stainless steel tank I am applying appendix S of API 650. In section S.3.6, it sais that Appendix M requirements shall be met for stainless steel tanks with design...
When the liquid stored has a lower density than water, must the tank be designed with the density of water in API620?
In API650 ther is no doubt as two thicknesses are calculated, one with density of fluid (design) and another with density of water (hydrostatic test), and your select the higher...
Hi, I am designing a low pressure tank with 9 m of diameter and 13 m of heigth. It is a cylindrical tank with flat bottom and coned roof.
My question is about the application of section 5.10.3.5 when calculating the shell thikness.
In this case, since we have a cylindrical shell, R1=infinity...
