Horizontal Tank Volume

[FaleirosChemical]

Hi, All

I have to calculate the volume in a horizontal tank with torospherical heads based on a LG scale. I am going to prepare a spreadsheet for many vessel geometries.
Does someone have a formulae or spreadsheet for it already done?

Best regards

That should do it.

The volume for the horizontal cylinder is:

vol= LR^2(A-sinAcosA)
where A=cos-1((1-h/R))
This is for flat ends. For a tropospherical end the volume within the end is:
tropospherical end volume = 0.215h^2(3R-h) (From Perry's)

Here's something about heads

Edmar,

A few years ago Montemayor sent me a spreadsheet for various vessel geometries. See thread798-105065

best wishes,

P.S. When coding your own stuff, you may discover the lame fact that MS did not bother to provide Excel with even the trig fuctionality of a professional calculator. Instead you have to search for advice in their database such as: ARCSEC(Y) = ATN(Y/SQR(1-Y*Y))+(SGN(Y)-1)*Pi/2, which is not very convenient at the formula writing level because it is not defined for all values of Y, and so you must include conditionals.

All,

Mr. Montemayor has parked his spreadsheet HERE .
